Pasta Shells with Salmon Caviar
The sulfides (sulfur compounds) in the leek act as a gentle natural antibiotic and helps to lower both elevated blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Caviar contains iodine, while the noodles provide fiber and energy.
You can always substitute the leek for spring onions, which contain even more of the beneficial sulphur substances and bring a slight pungency to this dish.
