ingredients prepared first &#8211; it just makes it easier to then step through the recipe much easier and it also means I do not forget a key ingredient.<br>So you can see I have also pre-measured all the other ingredients before I start doing the next steps.<br>Squash the garlic to make it easier to get the skin off and then dice finely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video
