I hate chopping garlic! I’m an avid chef, but I avoid it at all costs. If I can’t get someone else to do it, I’ll crush it with a knife, slice it, or better yet, roast it whole. This produces an entirely different, much sweeter flavor, but is so much easier. Another option is buying pre-chopped garlic. No, it doesn’t taste as good or give you the natural antibiotic, antimicrobial effects fresh garlic does, but it’s worth it! If you hate doing a cooking task, it’s better to make the necessary substitution to cook at home. Home-cooked meals are naturally much healthier, and if you need to make small sacrifices to make them a reality, so be it!
