A dish without garlic is a crime against cooking.
Many at-home cooks will admit to adding six cloves of garlic to a recipe that only calls for one.
The pungent ingredients is used in most of our favourite cuisines including French, Italian, Indian and Chinese to name a few.
Peeling it can be rather tricky though, and there are lots of methods out there.
Using a mincer is handy and fuss-free, some people simply use their hands, while others squash the clove with knife before slicing the skin off, the Daily Star reports.
However, food writer and editor of Bon Appetit’s “Basically” Sarah Jampel shared her unique trick online.
She uses hot water to remove the skin from her cloves.
Apparently she snagged the hack from Great British Bake Off’s Nadiya Hussain – who shared it on her show “Time to Eat”.
Apparently you should let your cloves sit in a bowl of boiling water for around a minute.
When you’re done, the skins should pull off easily.
Sarah wrote: “So I tried it. And it worked great!
“It’s probably not time-efficient if you only need to peel a few cloves.”
If you hate the fuss of peeling them yourself, it’s the perfect trick.
