Crusty bread with garlic basil pesto
|
This is the ultimate garlic experience!
Garlic contains the sulphur containing compound allicin and is considered a superfood for its antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal and cholesterol lowering properties. By crushing the garlic and leaving it out for 10 minutes before lightly heating you preserve its benefits and increase its enzymatic potential.
We love mixing our fresh garlic with fresh basil to create a smooth pesto and serving it on warm crusty Coconut Flat Bread Rolls alongside a nice soup. Just the most delicious combination.
By the way, we found that organic garlic has the best aromatic flavour.
