Instructions

  • Remove one clove from the garlic head.
  • Cut clove in half, through the peel.
  • At this point, typically each half clove will come out easily from the peel.  Sometimes, like in this photo, the halves just fall out of the peel on their own!  (Occasionally, a half clove will prove to be a bit stubborn and you will have to cut off the thick end of the clove that is adhered to the peel.  Just slice through it quickly with your knife.)
