Take a garlic clove in your hand, just knock with the clove on hard surface. It will split, you can peel easily. You can also use a large chef's knife: place the garlic glove under the knife blade held with the broad side of the blade of the knife over the garlic clove, and then quickly press down. The goal is to MASH the clove to make it easy to peel.

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Remove one clove from the garlic head.
3. Peel the clove (dry parts) until you only have the smooth surface of the edible part.
4. Cut off each end (the knobby parts).
5. Place on a baking sheet (over foil for less cleanup), drizzle with olive oil and roast for 15 minutes or so.
6. Once the cloves are slightly cooled, place them on a cutting board and chop away until you have lots of tiny, minced pieces.

∙ 11y agoThe best way to crush a garlic clove is to lay the flat side of a large knife over it and carefully press down hard with the heel of your hand. This is thought to give the best intensity of flavour. If you prefer to slice your cloves, then simply use a very sharp knife and slice to the required thickness. In both cases cut off a small piece at both ends and remove the skin first.

∙ 14y agoThe easiest way is after you have seperated the garlic and cut away the wood like part where the garlic was connected to the bulb, putting it inside a vegetable dicer. It will mince it quick and your hands will not have as much of a garlic odor, it is a quicker alternative to using a knife.

How do you tell garlic from onion?
A garlic bulb is composed of a number of bulblets around a central core. These are known as "cloves" of garlic or what the Fench call gousses d'ail. Onions can be much larger than garlic, and have an internal structure of concentric scales so that if you cut across an onion you get the familiar onion rings. Onions can be round and spherical or long and cylindrical or like a much flattened sphere or any combination of these characteristics. If you come across onions and garlic with their green foliage still attached the difference is quite clear. Onions will always have a tubular leaf which if you cut you will find to be hollow. In contrast garlic has flat solid strap- like leaves.
