Best ways to Mince Garlic

Separate the garlic cloves from the bulb by pressing down with your palm. Pull off the papery skin, but make sure you don’t lose any small cloves hiding inside. Peel each clove. You can either cut off the stem end and squeeze the clove out, or press it gently with the side of your knife until the skin loosens. Just don’t smash it too much. Slice the clove lengthwise as thin as you can, then turn it and slice crosswise. Use a rocking motion with your knife for better control and safety. If you want a finer mince, keep running your knife over the pile until you’re happy with the size. The more you mince, the more flavor you’ll get in your dish. #GarlicTips #KitchenSkills #CookingBasics #Food #Cooking
