Skorthalia: Greek Garlic Dip And Sauce Recipe

Older generations of greek cooks would fix this recipe using a mortar and pestle to first make a paste with the garlic and salt, and then add the other ingredients to create the pure texture desired. Today, most cooks often use a food processor or hand mixer which makes things a lot easier and takes a lot less time Skordalia (also spelled skorthalia; in greek: pronounced skor-thal-yah) can also be made with bread, but the potato version is more versatile since it can double as garlic mashed potatoes. Serve this sauce with a wide variety of foods, such as fried cod, hamburgers, green vegetables, and beets. You can also enjoy it simply as a dip with bread.
