I'm not the best cook in town, but I DO know this..... you don't smash cloves of garlic with the flat side of a Santoku knife! Seriously! I've seen Rachael Ray and Gina DeLaurentis do this and it's total bullshit!
I've used their method and ended up with a bruise on the side of my hand. If you want to smash garlic to 1) - pop off the skin and 2 )- chop it to use in a recipe - SMASH IT WITH THE FLAT SIDE OF A MEAT MALLET! OMG - just gently pound the cloves, pull off the dry skin, and you're good to go - Hell with slamming your hand on the flat side of a knife.
That's my method and I'm sticking to it!
