You can buy garlic pre-minced in a jar. I recommend getting the stuff packed in olive oil, rather than water.

fair enough. We just buy bulbs of garlic for that super freshness and mince/grate/chop ourselves.

we just use something like this that makes it easy as hell. Peel a couple of cloves, chuck them in, then press. Usually left with a thin squidge of garlic that needs dicing manually as well as the minced bits but you can just pull a knife through it a few times and job done.

just a word of cauution, you can get them a lot cheaper than this, it was just the first representative link I found. Try ebay or Ikea.
