Was this supposed to be 3 Tbs or tsp. My mouth smells bad of garlic now and was a little garlic hot whole eating. The flavor was good though just think bit too much garlic.
Sorry for the extreme delay, your comment slipped through! Yes, that seems very excessive. I double checked Mike’s recipe, with the original he sent us and the one he posted, and it is with 3 tablespoons. But even 3 teaspoons is a lot. I’ve modified the recipe with our recommendations. Thank you!
