How to Crush Garlic
Crushing garlic cloves is a simple process that enhances their flavor. Use a heavy knife, like a chef’s knife, to press down on the garlic clove until it’s smashed. This releases the garlic’s oils and intensifies its taste.
Alternatively, a mortar and pestle are excellent tools for crushing garlic cloves. The mortar, or bowl, provides a sturdy surface, while the pestle, or grinding tool, crushes the cloves into a paste, extracting maximum flavor.
