4. Press and slice

Press the garlic a little and slice it.

If you press the clove, it is much easier to handle. When you cut a clove of garlic that hasn't been pressed, its structure remains denser and its flavor is sharper and more pungent.

5. Just crush and don't peel

This garlic is suitable for making broths or stewing meat.

I recommend that you make sure to add 1-2 cloves of garlic. Lightly press the clove with a knife, but do not remove the husk.
