As long as you don' plan to be kissing anyone after lunch, this recipe is a winner. Garlic is a powerful antioxidant, as well as having anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, so for those with allergies such as hayfever or a running nose it will help expel mucous and kill harmful bacteria floating around the immune system, although if you have a cold it's doubtful you'll be kissing anyone in the near future!
Serve this puree on toasted sourdough, with tuna and tabouli, or place a spoonful under grilled fish.
