this would be delicious poured over steamed vegetables and then baking

Uni, it does seem nice and hopefully I will be able to try it one day, but I will have to add some garlic to it lol

i made about 1/2 kilo of deep fryed garlic a few days ago and its nearly all gone

OMG you guys like your garlic
Guess you have lots of vampires around your area
Deep fried sounds interesting.

[JuliaBalbilla]

Oh Uni, I just use loads of garlic!  It is sacred and one cannot have too much of the stuff.  Dede, just use loads of it - it is so healthy and tasty.  When I was weaning DD (3-4 months), she spat out baby food, and the only thing she liked was mashed banana with garlic sausage.
I did see a quote once re garlic 'Tis chic to reek'  and I agree lol!

Hi JB...this looks really good. Have you tired it yet? I might try tonight. We're always trying to lose weight .  Love your sauce fascination. I'm right into them too....which is why we need to lose weight!

I've heard that garlic keeps elephants away too Uni

[JuliaBalbilla]

Not tried this yet, but hope to make all the untested recipes at some stage/  The reason I have added so many sauces is that one book I have is devoted to them and nothing else and I still have to finish the other two books which contain all sorts.  Sauces and soups just happened to come at the beginning of them and I still have to work my way through the rest of the books.  Still, I love a good sauce too ...
