They say, skordalia (a Traditional Greek Dip with Bread, Walnut & Garlic) is only for fried cod and fried zucchinis. Against them, I say that it’s only for when you don’t have to go to work and it goes wonderfully with the ouzo or tsipouro. I made this skordalia on Clean Monday and accompanied wonderfully with all the other lent dishes for this fasting day.


The combination of walnuts with my favorite bread (of the ones that is on package) Cereale del Mastro Panettiere have an amazing binding.

It’s a shame though that garlic smells so bad and since you can’t avoid bad breath, you can somehow camouflage it with the following I found on the internet. Eat an apple, drink milk, drink tea and finally brush your teeth, your tongue and the walls of your oral cavity very well. After that if nothing happens to your breath, at least think that the garlic was very tasty when you ate it and clear your mind of regrets.

Gluten Free Skordalia – Traditional Greek Dip with Bread, Walnut & Garlic


Tips:

  • Cut the leftover bread crust into small pieces and fry them in a pan with a little oil, a little oregano and a little garlic. The croutons for your green salad are ready.
  • IDEA: A great variation on this recipe is to beat the garlic, walnuts, vinegar or lemon juice, oil along with 1-2 tablespoons of tahini and spices in a food processor. This makes an amazing dip for chips, baton sale, breadsticks, etc. or for spreading on your favorite bread.
