Grating garlic - how???

[Riley Blue]

Last night's recipe called for grated garlic but it's impossibe to do, even with a fine grater, it just turns to 'mush'. What's the secret - use it out of a tube?

That mush is grated garlic. That's what it looks like.

If you want visible bits of garlic you could use a coarser grater but it will still mush to some extent.

Or you could use garlic granules or garlic salt.

I figured that, it was just so much fiddling effort. Next time I'll just use the stuff in a tube - life's too short...

Or get a garlic press?

That was my first thought. You don't even need to take the skin off.

Oh FF'sS... now you mention it, I've got one in the drawer....

As you were, gentlemen!
