what is the minced garlic equivalent to two cloves of garlic
Best Answer: I would suggest 1 teaspoon is equivalent to two cloves. Considering I cook a lot with fresh and minced garlic I can tell you that with the average sized clove it would be about 1/2 Tbs. Now if you were to use larger garlic cloves if you had fresh garlic then it would equal about 1 Tbs. You just have to remember that the pre-minced garlic is not as strong as would be the original fresh garlic. Most pre-minced garlic is packed in a vinagary type liquid. To combat this I suggest you get the pre-minced garlic packed in olive oil.
