Checca
Garlic is one of nature's best natural antibiotics. It also lowers blood pressure, cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. Garlic has both anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Garlic stimulates the immune system to fight cancer. Below is a simple recipe that uses a lot of garlic.
By the way, the tomatoes contain a substance called lycopene, which is helpful in preventing prostate cancer. Olive oil promotes higher levels of HDL, the "good" cholesterol and basil is used to stimulate appetite and digestion.

In any proportions that taste good to you, combine:

• minced garlic
• chopped ripe tomatoes
• minced fresh basil
• olive oil
• a little salt

The traditional Italian way to serve checca is on grilled toast, called Brushetta because it is brushed with olive oil. Whether you grill the bread or just spread liberally on toasted sourdough bread, this tasty appetizer is a great start to any Italian meal. Mange!
