Description
It's no fun eating bland food. Whether in a high class restaurant or at home 'a la mama', the same holds true: food should be spiced up. Two excellent flavourers are garlic and ginger. With their unique tastes and a spiciness that can be easily modified, they bring any food to life.
Step by step instructions
- Break the garlic bulb by hand. Then, use your fingers to separate out the individual cloves and to remove the outer covering of skin.
- Put pressure on the spine of the knife with your fist and press the garlic into the board in such a way that the skin scrunches up.
- Then, cut off the end of the clove with a paring knife and pull the skin away from the clove.
- Place the clove flat side down on the board and cut into fine strips of about 1mm / 0.03inch. Remember to use the claw grip.
