This procedure seemed difficult to me. Here in Mozambique we have an instrument made of wood, which is called PYLON. I think the "scientific" name of this instrument is a mortar. There is a large, which is used for pillar cereals such as corn for example, and another small (pestle), which we use to macerate the garlic, piripire, ginger and aromatic herbs. The small pestle undoes the garlic very well, may even make it a potato if you wish. It is very easy to use and very efficient.
