The recipe calls for 3 cloves of garlic?

Question

it asks for 3 cloves of garlic but i have a jar of canned chopped garlic how much would i need to replace it

Answer 1

1 clove = 1 tsp. chopped garlic

so use 3 tsp. or 1 Tbsp.

Answer 2

Two flat teaspoons of crushed garlic is fine.

3 whole cloves seems a bit much...

I make a huge pot of bolognese sauce to feed eight people with only two cloves of garlic.

Answer 3

the whole jar damnit.

Answer 4

one large clove = one teaspoon  

Answer 5

the jar should say some where what they recommend.. I use a regular Ole teaspoon and put a heaping spoon full for each clove I would have used, but I like a LOT of garlic.

Answer 6

½t per clove would be enough.

Hint.

It is better to use less and add more, than trying to loose some because you have used too much.

edit

Answer 7

About 3 teaspoons (level) of the chopped garlic. Hope it's not in a citric acid mixture. This could change the taste of what you're trying to make.

Answer 8

Usually the jar would say how much would equal a clove.  But a good guess would be 3 teaspoons.

Answer 9

1/2 tsp.= 1 clove, so 1 1/2 teaspoons

Answer 10

Probably 3 teaspoons. Garlic cloves are not that big.

Answer 11

you would need 2 tablespoons of the canned garlic
