How to Mince Garlic
- After peeling the clove, place it on a cutting board and trim off the tough roots (figure a). 2.
Slice the garlic in thin strips along its length, from root to tip (figure b). 3.Turn the garlic 90
degrees and cut strips in the other direction. Sprinkle the sticks of garlic with a pinch of salt to
keep them from sticking to your knife. 4. Hold the garlic in place by curling your fingers under
and run the knife back and forth over the sticks to mince as finely as you like (figure c).
