This is the Conversation Forum for Recipes for Winter and Spring Vegetables Christmas Sprouts >> Subject: Moretum (AKA Garlic Cheese) Posted Dec 4, 2002 by Thorsman   Posting 1 Well, as garlic is a year-round veggie (Well, it is on my allotment!) here's my recipe for the Roman dish called Moretum. 4 heads garlic (not cloves, 4 whole bulbs!) 3/4 pound good strong hard cheese (Parmesan is best but pricey) 2 tablespoons Olive Oil 2 tablespoons wine vinegar 1 bunch coriander 1 bunch tarragon Peel garlic, grate cheese and wash and chop herbs. Place into food-mixer. Whizz until chopped. Add oil and vinegar. Whizz until it becomes a nice lump. Spread on toast or bread. Or anything else, really. Warning - If you don't really *really* like garlic, don't try this.

The original recipe is in a poem attributed to Virgil and it's from this poem describing the making of a ploughmans lunch that the USA takes it's motto.(E Pluribus Unum or From The Many, One) Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Moretum (AKA Garlic Cheese) Posted Mar 23, 2009 by lostmonalisa is lost no more This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 4 this sounds like it would make a nice something to serve with crackers as an hors d'ouevre. If everyone's eating it, then they won't mind the garlic breath. Do you think this would be nicely made with roasted garlic?
