Skordaliagreek, relishes, side dish, vegetables, vegetarian 1 2/3 kg potatoes 90 gm garlic heads 4 lemons 370 ml olive oil 6 black olives 3 lemon slices 1 sea salt to taste 1 pinch of parsley This makes enough Skordalia for several meals. Skordalia is a tasty side dish. It can also be used as a relish. Keep it refrigerated. Boil the unpeeled potatoes in water (salted if required, but not necessary). Crush the garlic into a mixing bowl. Peel the potatoes, and add them to the bowl whilst they are still hot. Add a pinch of salt. Mix the garlic and potato mixture to a pulp; using a food processor or mixer. Alternately, add the lemon juice and olive oil gradually, until all the ingredients are blended into a smooth mixture. Put the mixture into a bowl, garnish with parsley, olives and the slices of lemon. Notes: The amount of garlic can be varied according to taste; like this it has a strong flavour. Skordalia can be surved as a cold side dish, with vegetables. Posted by Kaz Glover in Intercook |
