If you're like me and not a big fan of raw garlic you have a couple options. Use garlic powder in place of it. I suggest starting with 1/8 -1/4 teaspoon and adding more depending on your taste. Another option is to peel the clove(s) of garlic and microwave it in a small bowl for 10 seconds or until it's warm, but not cooked. Then just mince it and add it in with the tomatoes. Doing this gets rid of the bite that raw garlic has.
