Footnotes
-
¼ teaspoon of powder or granulated garlic is the standard swap for one clove — a generic spice-aisle conversion, not specific to this recipe. Because both are dehydrated at high heat during processing, the enzyme that makes fresh garlic sharp and pungent doesn’t survive, so they stir in ready to use with no rest needed. ↩︎

This is common kitchen practice rather than a precisely tested number — recipe sources generally land in the 10-15 minute range for a first pass at mellowing, and resting it longer, up to a few hours, will soften the bite further. ↩︎
