To mash garlic quickly, first chop it into tiny pieces. Then use the handle of the knife to pound it into a paste.

Great Pairings

Fire and Ice Tomatoes

Grandma's solution to overpriced, out-of-season tomatoes is still a good one: use high-quality canned whole tomatoes. You will need about 10 of them. Rinse and drain them, then slice and drain again.
