Ingredients : Aioli Recipe
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup Pine nuts
3 Potatoes, boiled, peeled and
1 Juice of a lemon
1/4 cup Olive oil
1 Egg, lightly beaten
Combine the garlic and nuts in a blender or food processor and puree. Add
the potatoes, and puree. Pour potato mixture into a bowl and, using a
whisk, beat in the lemon juice, a bit at a time. Gradually add the olive
oil in a thin stream while continuing to beat so oil combines with potato
mixture. When oil has been absorbed, add the egg and beat well. Giovanni
de Bourbon-Sicily, French Vogue Note: If you omit the raw egg, you still
get a nice sauce. According to an ancient proverb, "Garlic is as good as
10 mothers." If the latest flu bug has hit your house--and whose has
escaped--you may be ready to test claims for garlic's medicinal powers.
Since 1983, the National Library of Medicine has gathered 125 scientific
papers on the therapeutic potential of garlic. They've found some
interesting material. It's clear that allicin, the smelly compound in
garlic, is an antibiotic--but only if taken raw. Heat destroys the
elements that have antibiotic properties. Raw or cooked, garlic can also
work as a decongestant and expectorant for common colds and bronchitis.
Regularly eating raw garlic seems to act as a deterrent for these
ailments, according to Dr Irwin Ziment. A Dr Abdullah, who eats a couple
of raw garlic cloves a day, claims he has not had a cold since 1973.
Admittedly, eating raw garlic won't help your social life but Kyolic, a
deodorized garlic compound from Japan, may allow you to have good health
and good friends. I've also heard of fresh garlic imported from Japan
that supposedly is deodorized. If any of you have found it in local
stores, let us know. It would be interesting to hear if it lives up to
the claims made for it. Since having the flu is no fun, this may be a
good time to take your chances and share some pungent garlic dishes with
friends and family--for health's sake. It's easy to add minced fresh
garlic to hummus or tabbouleh, Mid-Eastern dishes you can buy in many
deli's and natural food stores. If you're brave, you can try my
grandmother's cold cure. Spread a slice of black bread with butter, then
layer thin slivers of raw garlic all over the bread. Eat this and it'll
cure what ails you...or keep everyone so far away that no germs will reach
you! Aioli is a milder way to enjoy raw garlic. This French condiment, a
sort of mayonnaise, is a puree of garlic, boiled potatoes, olive oil and
egg. Serve it with chicken, grilled fish, dolloped into soup and on
vegetables.
