Skordalia #EattheWorld

By

It's hard to believe that we are inching our way towards the end of 2021. Crazy. Welcome to the October installment of our #EattheWorld project, being spearheaded by Evelyne of CulturEatz. Here's her challenge. 


This month, we are sharing Greek recipes. Here's the #EattheWorld line-up...


Skordalia is a delicious Greek garlic dip that has a thick base of mashed potatoes. You can serve it chilled or at room temperature. I used it as a spread on sourdough and as a side for roasted chicken thighs. 

  • 2 Tablespoons garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 cups cubed potatoes
  • 2  Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • olive oil
  • water from the boiled potatoes

Boil the potatoes in salted water. When they are cooked through, remove them but reserve the cooking water. In a large mixing bowl, mash the potatoes with the garlic. Add the lemon juice and enough olive oil to make a thick sauce. Add the cooking water till the sauce is the consistency you want.


That's a wrap for the #EattheWorld Greek event. We'll be back next month with another tabletop adventure. Stay tuned.

    I'd never heard of a potato based garlic dip but now I can't wait to try it! It sounds divine with the lemon and olive oil.

      It was SO good. But everyone at the table has to eat it because it's pretty pungent.

    I love this simple dip, especially as it's naturally gluten free - and we have lots of garden potatoes to use right now! Thanks for sharing.

    This sounds delicious Cam. Love that you used it to make a bruschetta of sorts.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
