What You’ll Need

To mince garlic, my preferred method is by knife. A good chef knife is the best way to do it. Every cook should have a good chef knife in their kitchen. If you need one, here are three that I highly recommend. They are very good for the price.

If you don’t want to use a knife, you can also use a garlic press to prepare your garlic for this recipe. If you don’t have one, here are few I recommend.
