Adding too much garlic in cooking, overpowering other flavors

How to use garlic in a balanced way

When garlic is used heavily in recipes, its flavor can overpower other flavors, which can ruin the taste of the dish. To solve this problem, the amount of garlic should be measured accurately according to the recipe. It is best to start with a small amount of garlic, then taste the dish before adding more. Other methods can also be used to reduce the intensity of garlic, such as slicing or crushing it instead of mincing it finely, or using roasted garlic which gives a milder flavor. To avoid this problem, some garlic can also be replaced with other flavor-enhancing ingredients like onions or fresh herbs.
