Goddamn, that's a tasty looking dish. Wasn't me- in fact, I preferred crushing until a guest broke the plastic handle off my cheapo OXO crusher. Was always confused by the assertion that mincing introduces more oil than crushing. But you know what does it best? Mashing in a mortar and pestle. Followed a recipe that called for that and I was tasting garlic for days. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not that's a desirable outcome. Might have to put this on the menu for next week, goddamn.I got into a discussion a few weeks back (ghostoffuffle?) about the amount of time necessary to crush garlic being equal to or greater than the amount of time necessary to mince garlic.
