For the sauce

• 

  3 cloves garlic, minced
  Ingredient note

  Cooking often breaks down the heat-sensitive proteins that trigger oral allergy syndrome, so the cooked garlic in this recipe is likely tolerated by many with OAS. If unsure, consult your doctor. To always avoid garlic, tap it and change its rating to Red.
