Every time. I believe the 2 cloves thing is really an approximate in the industry.
I had a recipe last week that specifies 11 small cloves. That raised my eyebrow.
So, to keep to form, I put in 12.
No recipe is going to tell me how much garlic I should use!
40 clove chicken is a thing
Also there’s no such thing as too much COOKED garlic, I used to say “there’s no such thing as too much garlic” too until I made Hummus the first time. I put in significantly more than called for as per usual. I regretted it. I quite like garlic so I could power through it but it wasn’t pleasant.
true garlic heads know that the secret is to use both cooked and raw garlic to maximize your garlic per garlic
Absolutely I put roasted garlic for flavor and some fresh garlic for the bite.
I always take a bite of fresh garlic when I prep it, I love the spiciness
hell yeah garlic
I feel you, I have ruined a yoghurt dip a couple of weeks ago with too much garlic. Even my husband felt it was overdone and he comes from a family where they just eat raw garlic like a cucumber. But that’s the point, if you want to eat pure garlic you can go eat pure garlic. But you only want a side kick garlic in certain dishes.
My IBS is acting up just looking at this picture.
My sister in law read a salsa recipe wrong once and put 2 heads of garlic instead of the directed 2 cloves. Maybe some of you garlicky people would have liked it but I did not 🧛
I mean this looks about the same as 2 big cloves, no?
The problem here is clearly the other food getting in the way of your garlic. Just eat the garlic.
This you, OP?
Don’t breathe near walls after eating this, the paint will come off
Daen’s Kitchen: “That’s cute”
To be fair, if you use an oven mitt, it is about two gloves full of garlic.
If you have a microplane, try grating the garlic. You can get a much bigger punch out of each clove.
I learned how to hand mince and it works so well
