Step 2: Grind the garlic & spices
Garlic & spices
- garlic4-5 cloves
- salt4 g
- thyme10 sprigs
- cumin seeds3 g
- bay leaves2
- fresh oregano1 g
Prepare the garlic mash by adding garlic cloves and salt to a mortar and pestle. Crush the cloves until a paste forms.
Then, one ingredient at a time, grind in the bay leaves, cumin seeds, oregano, and fresh thyme to form a rough paste. Add a little water to smooth it out.
If you don't have a mortar & pestle, you can use a food processor or your knife.
