Ingredients:
6 Cloves: of 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

Directions:
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 garlics medicinal powers.
Since 1983, the National Library of Medicine has gathered 125
scientific papers on the therapeutic potential of garlic. Theyve
found some interesting material. Its 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 wont help
your social life but Kyolic, a deodorized garlic compound from Japan,
may allow you to have good health and good friends. Ive 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 healths sake. Its easy to add minced fresh garlic to
hummus or tabbouleh, Mid-Eastern dishes you can buy in many delis
and natural food stores. If youre brave, you can try my
grandmothers cold cure. Spread a slice of black bread with butter,
then layer thin slivers of raw garlic all over the bread. Eat this
and itll 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.
