GINGER GARLIC TOMATO REBOOT
GINGER GARLIC TOMATO REBOOT Fat-free medicine. It’s super hot from the garlic and ginger, so you need the bread or some other carbohydrate to chew it with. Any bread will do. I also like it with Russian black bread. Do not serve this to guests. It’s personal. Makes 3-1/2 cups
