Recipe Note

This homemade paste made of fresh turmeric root, ginger, coconut oil, and pepper comes together quickly. Use it fresh in soups, sautes, and even on sandwiches. Add to any dish where you want some added flavor! Or use it as a base for curry pastes. It can be refrigerated to be used within 3 days or frozen in ice trays to be used later. I hope you enjoy it.
