Greek Garlic Dip-skordalia Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Greekgirrrl / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago The true garlic lovers appetizer. Traditionally served on the side with fried salt cod. My recommendation: Serve with slightly warmed pita bread triangles and some Greek oil-cured black olives. And like I always say,"DON'T FORGET THE WINE!" Prep:60m Cook:15m Servings:6	Greekgirrrl

This sounds a lot better than my recipe and I will be using this soon. Now, what kind of wine do you like with this? I like to serve this with warmed pita, but I like it also with pale tender endive leaves as scoops.

One of my favorite Greek dips. I love ground almonds in dips. Spicing up the roasted garlic with a small amount of raw is a great idea. This is a keeper for sure.... Thanks. Jim

You make this 2 hours ahead leave it on the counter with me to guard it and it might accidentally disappear.
