How to chop garlic
Helpful Tools
Watch Steven Saunders take garlic from head to puree in this quick techniques video.
1. Break up the garlic bulb by thumping it or pressing down heavily using the side of a knife.
2. To remove the skin form a clove, put it on a chopping board and lay the side of a cook’s knife on it. Push lightly to break the skin, then pull it away.
3. For sliced garlic: finely slice the garlic widthways.
4. For chopped garlic: chop the garlic roughly, then sprinkle with a little salt to help break the garlic down and continue chopping until very fine.
5. For crushed garlic: finely chop the garlic, then use the side of the knife blade to press the garlic against the board, making a smooth paste.

Brilliant idea Sam I would love that, could get ris of all the stuff I keep in the freezer.
SUGGESTION!!!! Money saving tip, use up ingrediants from cupboard or fridge! "What can I cook Page"..... Home Chef, types/lists ingrediants onto site that they have.......PRESS ENTER............... UKTV.co.uk lists several receipes which can be cooked with all the ingrediants.
I have made this before and it keeps for months. Both the oil and the garlic are great.Sterelize the jars in a low oven temp. and you won't have any problems

I wouldn't keep garlic in oil for more than a week. There's a chance that it will develop botulism bacteria, which you can die from.
Intresting, but by christ the lesson needs to be a bit more chilled out! That so so far intense i almost had a nervous breakdown!
Very helpful to see it all in a video! Well done Good Food!
