Is there an easy way to peel garlic?

Peeling Garlic

An easy way to peel garlic cloves is to smash them on your cutting board with the flat side of a large knife, or blanche them in boiling water for a few seconds.

What seems to work also is to cut off both ends of the clove with a ginsew knife.....the skins will simply fall off of the clove...works great.....
