You Will Need
- Garlic bulb
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Garlic press
- Microplane grater
- Salt (optional)
-
Step 1
Release cloves
Pull away the cloves from the bulb of garlic.
-
Step 2
Peel the skin
Peel the skin from the individual cloves by cutting off the stem and then pressing down on the clove with a side of a knife blade. Remove the skin after it releases.
-
Step 3
Smash the clove
Smash the peeled clove with the side of the knife to start to break it apart.
-
Step 4
Rock a knife
Rock the blade of a large knife back and forth quickly across the smashed garlic, using your free hand to steady the top of your blade. Continue chopping until the garlic is minced.
-
Tip
Add salt to the garlic before you chop. Salt acts as an abrasive and can help the garlic break down more easily.
-
Step 5
Do it the easy way
Use a garlic press to save time. Peel the cloves and pass them through the press, using a knife to trim away any garlic that clings. A microplane grater can also work wonders, allowing you to grate tiny pieces of garlic in no time.
-
Fact
Garlic is rich in antioxidants, which help destroy cancer-causing free radicals in the body.
