You can't substitute garlic. It's a cornerstone of cooking. If a recipe calls for garlic and you haven't any, either rush out and get some or suffer a severe lack of flavor. . .

Actually, in Indian cooking, garlic is never used. Asafoetida (also known as "hing" is the substitute. As well, with experimentation, one can find all sorts of flavours which simply train our normally "rigid" tastes to like/love something else. There are many folks alergic to garlic, yet they find ways to expand their palates in other ways and, once it's not being eaten for awhile, garlic is not missed nor is there a "severe" lack of flavour.

garlic powder (Supv Note: Well, that would be garlic, now, wouldn't it?)

ANS:Nothing really substitutes well for garlic. You might try minced leeks (which are relatives of garlic) in a recipe that calls for garlic if you are substituting because the garlic taste doesn't appeal to you.

Mincing garlic is a very similar process to crushing or chopping garlic, and naturally substitution should be possible in most cases; though store bought, pre-prepared garlic is generally far more potent than its natural counterpart.

It will depend on what you will be cooking. So if at the end the garlic is to cooked completely then there shouldn't be any problem you use it either crushed or Minced. People eating it might later find small lumps of garlic and personally i wouldn't like a piece of garlic to be floating around in my food so i would suggest you mince it.

How much crushed garlic is equal to one clove?

Cloves come in all sizes so you can't determine. If I read it in a recipe and only had minced garlic I'd used 2 teaspoons.


Is minced garlic the same as crushed garlic?

No. Crushing results in a fine pulp. Mincing gives you finely diced pieces. The difference shows up when you cook it in oil. Since crushing results a more moist product, it will make the oil spatter more than with the minced garlic. Also, when mixing garlic into other ingredients, crushed garlic distributes more evenly.

Why do you have to squish garlic before cutting it?

You do not need to squish (crush) garlic before cutting it. Depending on the use of garlic in different recipes, the cloves may be crushed, minced, chopped, sliced, slivered or used whole. Chefs often crush garlic cloves because the dry skin of each clove slips off easily after the clove is struck with the flat side of a knife. Partially crushed or flattened cloves are also easier to cut into a fine mince than whole cloves.
