3. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan at a medium to high temperature. Add shallots and garlic, and cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes.

The Nutritionist's advice

Garlic acts as a substitute for salt to add flavor to meals, along with lemon juice and spices. When you're cooking, always think about tasting the food before adding salt. The less salt in the recipe, the healthier it will be, especially in cases of high blood pressure.
