What is Minced Garlic?

Minced garlic is garlic crushed or diced into tiny pieces. Making minced garlic from cloves can be time consuming. Using a garlic peeler can be a great idea to save some time. We will now see, how to mince garlic.

  • Take a whole bulb of fresh garlic. The cloves of garlic should be tightly held together and not discolored.
  • Now first separate the cloves by placing the garlic bulb root-side on a hard surface and pressing down on it firmly with the heel of your hand, till the cloves separate.
  • Take a clove and lay it flat on a hard surface.
  • Now press down on the clove with your thumb on the side of the clove, until the over cover begins to crack.
  • Now peel off the cover. Sometimes, there can be more than one layer of cover, hence make sure all the layers of covers have come out.
  • Now chop the garlic roughly. You can use the same method, as you would to chop onions. Make few horizontal cuts on the clove and then a series of vertical cuts. After which you can dice the sticks.
  • Now to make minced garlic, chop the garlic in a rocking motion, for which you will have to keep the tip of the knife on the cutting board and move the handle up and down.
  • While you are mincing garlic, if you notice that garlic pieces are moving away from the knife, stop the rocking motion, draw garlic close to one another and continue to mince it further.

I make garlic oil by adding the desired amount of olive oil to a sauce pan and placing it over very low heat. I then add a few peeled cloves of garlic and let them cook up until the oil becomes infused with the garlic flavor.

The longer you cook the oil the stronger the flavor will become. Everyone's tastes are different as to how strong they like their garlic oil to be. Until you get the hang of making the oil I suggest that you taste test the oil on a plain piece of bread every so often until you get the desired flavor.

Tomatoes are mashed and then most of the moisture is taken out, along with the seeds. What is left, without the water, is a thick, red condensed tomato paste.
