Lemongrass Paste

12 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • Basic Recipe
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 large shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, pounded, cut in 1/2-inch pieces (1 tablespoon dried)
  • Optional Additions
  • fresh galangal root (half galangal half ginger)
  • turmeric (pinch)
  • chili pepper (Thai, jalapeno, etc.)
  • kaffir lime leaf (about 4 finely sliced with hard ribs removed)
  • palm sugar, white sugar, brown sugar (pinch to taste and enhances entire mix well)

Directions

  1. 1
    Blend all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor until very smooth and finely textured, 2 to 3 minutes. Can, also, be pounded with mortar and pestle. Keep refrigerated.
  2. 2
    Note 1: If you are using the pestle and mortar, start off with the hard to grind ingredients like the lemongrass, the kaffir lime leaves and the galangal.
  3. 3
    Note 2: If you are using a food processor, put the easiest-to-grind ingredients in first. The liquid that forms will help to process the other harder-to-blend ingredients.
  4. 4
    Note 3: The additon of a couple teaspoons water may encourage easier mixing and will not affect the final product.
