  1. It was delicious, and pungent with lots of garlic, so just a dab will do ya. As recommended,I used it on roasted beets, green beans and potatoes, served with some pan sauteed cod. I didn't have any sourdough bread and just used some good hearth baked bread instead. I kept wishing I had some olive bread because I think it would be terrific used in this recipe.I think I would really like Skordalia as a dip for veggies or a spread for veggie sandwiches better than as a condiment with the meal. Wish I had some Greek wine to go with this very Greek condiment. Glad you posted this interesting recipe,Evelyn.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
