Categories : Condiment LowerCarbs
Vegan

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 garlic cloves -- 4 to 6, to taste, peeled
salt -- to taste
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
4 slices stale rustic bread -- 1-inch thick, crusts removed
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar -- 2 to 4 T. to taste

Either in a mortar or in a food processor, pulverize the garlic and salt to a
paste.
Add the walnuts and pound or pulverize until the mixture is mealy.
Dampen bread under the tap, squeeze dry, and crumble. Add to the mortar or food
processor and continue pulverizing.
Drizzle in the olive oil and vinegar, alternating between them, and process
together until the skordalia is creamy. If it is too thick, add a little water.
Serve immediately.

AuthorNote: The regional love affair between garlic and walnuts plays itself out
nowhere better than in this local skordalia recipe. Serve as a dip or as an
accompaniment to fresh or fried vegetables and fried [cFavorite].
