Cut up the cilantro and garlic. I used a garlic press so mine is kind of slimy. The cilantro can be as much as you like. You can also cut it large or small depending on how much you like it.

You can also use the flat part of the knife to flatten and break up the garlic before cutting it instead of using a garlic press. Less slime and one less utensil to wash.
