Equipment

Notes

  • If needed, add tiny bits of water to make blending easier. Remember, the more water you add, the more dilute the flavor.
  • Store in the fridge for up to three days. 
  • To reheat, use a small saucepan and add a little bit of oil to help make the paste more smooth as it might be too dry and firm. I like to use a spray oil for this.
