Skordalia

Cultural Context

Skordalia is a traditional Greek dip, often served as a meze alongside fish or vegetables. Its roots trace back to ancient Greece, where garlic was revered for its flavor and health benefits. This creamy, garlicky delight embodies the Mediterranean love for simple, fresh ingredients. Today, skordalia is enjoyed not only in Greece but also in various Mediterranean cuisines, with many regional variations incorporating nuts or different types of bread.
