One of my favorite, quick ways of preparing salad recently is to braise the lettuce and other veggies in a Teflon-coated sauce pan sprayed lightly with olive oil. My friend, Kevin, an internist practicing complementary medicine, suggested I eat less raw foods for a while to rest my pancreas. This cooking technique is the result. I add whatever veggies I have in the crisper—celery, scallions, carrots, varieties of lettuces—but generally include whole garlic cloves. Garlic is considered good for the cardiovascular system, helping to clean the arteries and keep the blood from creating plaques. A perfect meal is one that's easily and simply prepared, is tasty and healthy to boot!
