Removing skins from garlic can be an onerous job particularly if numerous bulbs are involved. Also garlic to be utilized should be crushed and set aside to mature for at least fifteen minutes after being crushed. I use a simple tortilla press to facilitate processing. The cloves are separated from the bulbs, partially crushed, and the skin removed.Then placed in a chopper and crushed finely, set side for about 15 minutes and used as required. There are various internet methods of removing the garlic skin but all are inadequate IMO.
