Add peeled garlic cloves to the bowl of a mini food processor. Attach the lid, then pulse until the cloves are minced. Texture/Flavor: A finer dice than knife mincing but with less uniform pieces.

Roughly chop 2 garlic cloves and add to food processor along with 1 teaspoon chile flakes, shallots, peppercorns and 6 tablespoons butter. Blend until finely minced and evenly combined.
