There are a handful of regional skordalia recipes throughout Greece, some made with a potato base, others with a bread base, others still with almonds or walnuts or a combination of starch and nuts. The most common version of skordalia on Ikaria is made with a bread base, as in the recipe below. There is another, older recipe, for skordalia made with taro root, too. When you make this with leftover, really good sourdough bread the dip is rustic and pleasantly sharp. It’s the perfect foil to the crispy fried vegetables and cod. Make sure to use really good Greek olive oil and a pinch of natural Greek sea salt, both available on my online store here.
