You're probably not preparing your garlic correctly for the recipe. It's not always about volume.
For all those "never too much" garlic people, I invite you to eat a clove raw.
Raw is great, but it still requires some prep. Grated raw and mixed with olive oil, with some black pepper, and salt, makes a wonderful dip/spread on toasted bread.
I like raw garlic in a number of dishes; gives a spicy sensation. Especially if Mediterranean style (as it was taught to me anyway).
I've done it.
I'm not proud of it, but I've done it.
Ive done it as a cure to a cold. its not great. I will eat toom by the bucketful though
I used to host a d&d game, and since I love to cook, would normally make a meal beforehand for everyone to enjoy before we play. One week we made flatbread, homemade hummus, toom, and a bunch of other things in a similar vein.
Only one friend ate the toom with me. Everyone left around 10pm. At 11pm he and his fiance were knocking on our door. She said he had to sleep over tonight because the garlic stink was just too much. Lmao.
We stayed up most of the night eating more garlic. Lmao
Wait, you don't?
It's a bit better roasted. Or at least sauteed, but I'll sometimes eat a smaller clove raw for some spice in life.
