Garlic
Part 1: Peel
garlic
 Begin at the end
Looking at the garlic clove, you'll see a tough
piece at the end. This is the part that was
attached to the bottom of the garlic head before
the clove was removed.
Place the garlic clove on the chopping block,
and using the tip of your knife, slice off that
end.
 Break the skin
Keeping the garlic on the chopping block, use
your thumb and index finger to hold the sides of
the clove.
Hold the knife with the other hand. Again using
the tip of the knife, carefully make a vertical
slit from top to bottom in the skin of the garlic.
 Tap into it
Keeping the garlic on the chopping block, tap
the clove once or twice with the back of the blade
of the knife.
 Peel it off
The skin should be nicely loosened at this point
and can easily be pulled off in one piece.
- If the skin is still not loose enough,
repeat Step 3.
- Carefully making a slit down the side of the
skin may help matters.
- The garlic is now ready to be crushed,
chopped, minced, or used whole. Yes, you've read
it correctly: whole garlic! Try it in stews or
with grilled vegetables.
