Chef's Notes

Julie’s Tips
Don’t forget to trim off the hard ends of each clove with a knife before you begin mincing. The ends won’t soften like the rest of the garlic, no matter which peeling method you choose.
One garlic clove equals approximately ½ teaspoon of garlic paste and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic.
If you’re adding frozen minced garlic to a recipe, it can be directly added to your recipe without thawing!
Top your minced garlic with a thin layer of olive oil before refrigerating, which helps preserve it for longer.
