I'm out of practice.

That's 4 - 6 cloves of *crushed* garlic.

Since I was using juicy & oily new season's garlic I didn't have to
take out any of the centre shoot because there wasn't one.

If I'm using older garlic, I take out the centre bit when I'm using it
raw because it can make whatever you're using it for quite bitter.
With older garlic used raw I also crush it into salt with the back of
a firm knife until it's like a smooth paste before adding to the
munged avos.
