Garlic turned GREEN during cooking. Pls help quick!?

I grated some garlic into raw mini yukon potatos, white onion and salt & pepper with some EVOO. I put it into my BBQ dish and about 40 mins into cooking, the garlic is green. It looks like avacado.

Is it still safe to eat? The garlic was fine when I peeled it and it looked normal grated.

Pls help... dinner is in 15 mins...lol

Update:

Thank you Sugar Pie! I use garlic a lot, and have never had this happen. Thanks for easing my mind!

    One of the risks of fresh garlic. It won't kill anyone, or even taste bad. It's perfectly safe. It just changes color. Every fry a turkey w/ fresh garlic pumped in it? Flesh turns green. Lovely and appetizing......<roll eyes>
