Garlic Paste

Garlic Paste

Does anyone know the recipe for garlic paste.?

Its actually arabic food. My mom tried to make it by tasting but it was too watery and garlic was really strong. Is mayonnaise added to make it thicker and more bland?

Garlic sauce as we call it in the "arab world"...is just peeled garlic that you place in the blender......with freshly squeezed lemon juice...then you SLOWLY pour into the blender....some canola oil. Don't use olive oil as the taste is too strong for this dip. If your mom's is too watery, then add more garlic and more lemon juice. Lebanese cooks sometimes put an egg white in their sauce...but I don't. Don't use mayo...it takes away from the flavor. Great luck...or just go on youtube and plug in arabic garlic dip......loads of how to's for you and umi!!:)

Garlic - A Soldier's Best Friend

In a recent AP press release it was reported that the country of Moldava was increasing the amount of garlic and onions its soldiers were getting in order to protect them from the swine flu. The decision came after 24 soldiers came down with the H1N1 flu in a span of two weeks. The soldiers will now be getting an extra 25 grams of onion and 15 grams of garlic per day in order to boost their immune system and help them in fight against the dreaded swine flu that has encompassed the world.

For those who do not know, The Republic of Moldova is teeny tiny little country that sits next Romania and the Ukraine. This former Soviet republic boasts an army of 6500 soldiers and is known mainly for its agriculture contributions to the world. Being a country with such a rich agricultural heritage, it should come as no surprise that garlic has been used there for centuries as a traditional remedy to help boost the immune system.

How garlic can help stop the swine flu

While some pundits have scoffed at this tiny republic resorting to garlic instead of a modern vaccine in order to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus, the Moldovans might be the ones who get the last laugh. Garlic has been used for ages as a potent remedy for numerous ailments and contains sulfuric compounds that are known for their ability to kill off bacteria, fungus and viruses. In the Soviet Union which little Moldova was once part of, researchers and scientists prized the plant for its seemingly amazing antiseptic properties.  It was even used in military field hospitals during the First World War to treat soldiers suffering from the effect of gangrene.

Despite how scary the news anchors make it sound, the swine flu is still no match against the virus fighting power of garlic and its active biochemical component: allicin. Allicin is a sulfuric compound that is created when garlic is crushed or chopped that has displayed the ability to actually kill off most pathogens including the H1N1 virus. Aside from the vaccine, which can lead to complications, the only other relief for people suffering from the swine flu is a drug like tamiflu, which some reports suggest that H1N1 is already starting to resist. Garlic’s natural pathogen fighters work differently than modern medications and viruses are unable to evolve a way around them which is why garlic has been able to remain a traditional remedy for the past several thousand years.
