Greek Vegetarian Garlic Dip - Skordalia

 

This is a very tasty dip that is served with a number of Greek dishes.

 

1/2 cup olive oil

5 to 6 cloves garlic

5 slices of bread, remove hard part

some vinegar

salt

 

Peel garlic and marinate (leave) it in the vinegar for about five hours. Press

garlic into pulp and add the bread after soaking it in water and straining it

well. Add 2 to 3 teaspoons of vinegar, the salt and beat the mixture while

slowly adding the oil. If you find it too thick, add some water. Serve with

olives in a shallow dish.

Variations:

1. Add half a cup of finely ground walnuts.

2. Replace the bread with 5 medium sized potatoes (boiled and hot).

Garlic dip usually accompanies fried codfish, fried zucchini or fried

eggplant.
