8 large whole garlic cloves - unpeeled
12 almonds
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sherry wine vinegar or- red wine vi, negar
1 cayenne pepper
1 crudites

Recipe Preparation
Preheat broiler. Line heavy large baking sheet with foil. Arrange
peppers cut side down in center of baking sheet; surround with
garlic. Broil 6 inches from heat until peppers are blackened and
garlic is tender, turning garlic often, about 12 minutes. Gather foil
up around peppers and garlic; let stand until cool enough to handle,
about 10 minutes. Working over bowl to catch any juices, peel and
seed peppers; reserve juices. Keeping red and yellow peppers
separate, cut into pieces; transfer to 2 separate bowls. Peel and
chop garlic, discarding any hard pieces. Finely chop 6 almonds in
processor. Add yellow peppers, half of garlic, 1 teaspoon reserved
pepper juice, 1/2 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon vinegar and pinch of
cayenne and puree. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to small
bowl. Using clean processor, repeat with remaining 6 almonds, red
peppers, remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon pepper juice, 1/2 tablespoon
olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon vinegar and pinch of cayenne. Season with
salt and pepper. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill purees
separately. Bring to room temperature before serving.) Simultaneously
spoon each puree into shallow bowl. Shake bowl gently, allowing
purees to meet in center. Serve with crudites and pita wedges. Makes
about 1-1/4 cup.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsIn planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some low carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Don't skip meals Most reduced carbohydrate recipes are, errmm.., low in carbs. Your body must have energy, and carbs are a very efficient source of energy. A lower carbohydrate diet requires more care in managing your energy intake, as any energy contributed by non-carbohydrate sources is far slower to act.
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes garlic, spinach, adzuki bean & tea)
The nutrients called 'flavonoids' present in these food types are thought by nutritionalists to have properties as anti-carcinogens.
Researchers researching the effects of flavonoids think they might also have numerous other healthy properties, amongst them, anti-dermatitis and antiplatelet capabilities.
The majority of these also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every diet system.
