Crush with side of knife.
Hard smash the unpeeled clove with the side of the knife under the heel of your hand. This will make the peel simple to remove.
Then either quick rough chop or smash again with heel of hand and knife.
Then use the knife like a press, with the spine of the knife flat along the chopping board and rotating the blade edge down to the board and squeezing the garlic into a paste.
A big knife helps.
A grind of salt into the garlic helps crush it.
This all sounds complex but it is dead easy and quick to do.
And you don't then have to clean the fucking garlic press out with a toothpick.
