I immersion blended a whole head of garlic into a batch of, I don't know what it's called. You take dried New Mexican hot chilies and soak them and blend them for sauce. Put a whole head of garlic in and blended it up with it.

They were no longer spicy beans, but a pungent garlic explosion.

I had to freeze the batch in portions and add it to other beans just to use it.

The experience nearly ruined garlic for me lol

Garlic absolutely can change its potency based on how you chop and use it.
