As long as you are not baking bread or cakes you do not need to be precise with a recipe. Seasoning is a preference not a rule. If you like garlic put more if you don't put a little less. Teaspoon full is about right for 1 regular sized clove.

depending on the size of garlic cloves this is how I've figured it. With most normal sized cloves, when finely chopped or minced it will be about 1 1/2 teaspoons so for 2 cloves, 3 teaspoons which is 1 tablespoon. We're talking about fresh minced garlic in a jar right? I'm not too sure if it's the dehydrated kind as I only use fresh but I know the dehydrated will be stronger.
Good luck!

If the minced garlic is going to be cooked for any length of time (like in a sauce or a stew or whatever), use one teaspoon minced for each whole clove called for in the recipe (in your case, 2 teaspoons). The minced garlic (in the jar) will not be as potent as freshly-minced garlic, for two reasons: 1, the oils have had a chance to vaporize somewhat (that's where the garlic smell/flavor is), and 2, the minced garlic is stored in either oil or water (with preservatives added), which leeches out even more of the garlic's orginal flavor.
And as the garlic cooks, it becomes milder still. So use a little extra of the pre-minced stuff, or else it will disappear completely.

I love garlic, so I'd put at least 1 tablespoon but I think
1 clove=1 teaspoon.

2 cloves of garlic minced = 2 teaspoons garlic in the jar

It should SAY that on the jar---usually running around the outside of the lid.
Mine says a half teaspoon is about one clove.

I would go for the teaspoons, be sure and look on the jar that the gartlic is in and see if it has any info that could also help you.
