Place the peeled clove of garlic on the chopping block. Hold the knife with one hand and the front of the blade with the other.

• Starting at one end of the clove move the knife up and down until you've made pieces of the desired size.

• The partially chopped garlic may start to spread out away from your knife. Angle the dull edge of the knife towards the garlic, scoop it back into a pile and continue chopping.
  
  
• Again, the thinner the slice, the more it will dissolve--thus adding more flavor than if you slice it thicker.
