Mise en Place - Minced Garlic

Mise en Place - Everything in it's Place - minced garlic

Mise en Place means everything in it's place. Get everything prepped & ready before you start cooking!

Minced garlic on a wood cutting board with a small orange square container. Knife and ginger knob on side. this …

Kitchen tip - making dinner easier is simple.  We eat a lot of garlic.  I mince one small head of garlic and dice one onion every Monday.  

These are our 2 most used ingredients that I prep ahead of time, so that I can make a quick stir fry, pasta, or warm salad.  

They both last ~ 5 days in the refrigerator.  Wrap 'em tight in plastic or storage bags and place in a tupperware.

Put them in the crisper to try and isolate those strong smells from other veggies.

You can also prep ahead of time: broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, ginger, radishes, cucumbers, etc. Basically just prep ingredients and then eat them throughout the week to get your veggies.

Happy prepping!  Beckie

Hey y'all!

I’m Beckie Hemmerling. I love food and I think of it on a basic level of providing strength & nourishment. Cooking has helped me *try* to figure out life, not just my own, but also other people's. I have cooked through many joys / sorrows and cooking has always been a meditative place through these highs & lows. More background info →
