Thanks for sharing, it looks so easy, but I too wonder if she shook it for 10 minutes! I have one of those sleeve thingees, you can buy them cheap on eBay, and often use a garlic press or a knife.

I read in Prevention magazine that you should let the garlic rest for 10 minutes after smashing it before cooking it to get the health benefits from it. That allows the allicin to develop. Allicin is garlic's natural defense against attack, so beat it up and it gets defensive. Allicin helps prevent inflammation and is an anti-oxidant.

Ok, just thought you'd like to know...
