Skordalia

"This sounds like a strange concoction but is wonderful if you are a garlic lover. I first had it at a restaurant in Lake Geneva, WI and had to find out how it was made. I also like this spread on French bread."

  1. This was a wonderful skordalia. i only used 1 tbs of olive oil and added a little fat free milk when i mashed the potato's. Scaled it down to two and had it with some bread as a snack.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I was born in Chicago, IL and have lived in the area all my life. I love to cook and plan meals and always have. As a child I would watch Julia Childs on TV every day (she came on right after Mr. Rogers) and I have been interested in cooking ever since. Now that I have a family I enjoy the quick and easy recipes just as much as the more intricate ones. I didn't mind putting in the extra time and effort when I only cooked recreationally. I still like to do that sometimes, but for the day-to-day chore of cooking (and sometimes it is a chore) I like the option of fast and simple. I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing favorites of mine. I have found that sometimes the most unlikely sounding ones turn out to be the best! I try to always review the recipes I try because I know how much I enjoy getting that feedback myself. Even when it is not necessarily positive because sometimes suggestions help me tweak things and make them better!
