EASY WAY TO MINCE GARLIC

I love garlic in about every type of dish I fix but I hate to try to cut it up where all the pieces are the same. I have found the best way to mince garlic is to get a small grater like you would use to grate cheese and mince it this way. Spray it first with a light coat of cooking spray so it will not stick to it.
