Garum
- 9 parts fish entrails
- 1 part salt
Mix raw fish innards and salt in a large pot. Cover pot and leave in direct sunlight for several months. Strain liquid that forms at the top and bottle for serving. Use generously on most foods.
Some historians think Garum was involved in the spread of multiple parasites in the ancient world. Go figure.
