No more struggling with sticky, paper-thin peels. With these
three steps—trim, crush, chop— you can prep a clove in no time.
Step 1: Trim. Use the tip of a chef’s knife to slice off the hard root
of each clove. This will allow the skin to peel away more easily.
Step 2: Crush. Place a clove under the flat side of the knife, with the
blade facing away from you. Press the heel of your palm or your fist down on
the knife until you feel the clove give way. Slip off and discard the skin.
Step 3: Chop. Gather together the peeled cloves, hold your knife by the
handle, and place your other, nondominant hand on top of the blade. Rock the
knife up and down through the cloves (the tip stays on the cutting board). Chop
until the garlic is the size you desire.
