Ancient Greek Flavor: Healthy Olive-Garlic Paste Recipe

Pedanios Dioscorides, a Greek medical doctor, writes in the 1st century CE about this fragrant condiment: "The paste obtained from it (garlic) and black olives by grating it, known as myttoton, when consumed, drives out urine and has an opening effect. It is also beneficial for those suffering from dropsy." (Pedanios Dioscorides, Περὶ ὕλης ἰατρικῆς / De Materia medica, Chap. 181, About garlic). The best way to eat myttoton is simply on toasted bread (bruschetta). You need: black olives (in salt brine, preferably pitted), garlic, olive oil Find more recipes on my YouTube channel Ursula's Historical Recipes or in my cookbooks "GARUM: Recipes from the Past“ (available in English, German, French and Italian), "From Eden to Jerusalem: Recipes from the Time of the Bible“ (English, German and Italian), "VEGETUS: Vegetarian Recipes from the Past“ (English, German, Italian) or "The Love Potion Cookbook: Aphrodisiac Recipes from History" (German title: "Liebe geht durch den Magen").
