Yes. Garlic exposed to anything remotely resembling cooking kills 95%
of its bite. Raw garlic, OTOH, can be overwhelming. I used too much
raw garlic in my first attempt at hummus and it was obvious. There's
a lot to be said for letting the flavors marry, also. Too much raw
garlic may not be become apparent for 24-48 hrs. Take notes!
