Beet Skordalia

Skordalia is a thick purée in Greek cuisine made by combining crushed garlic with a bulky base—which may be a purée of potatoes, walnuts, almonds, liquid-soaked stale bread, or in this case beets —and then beating olive oil in to make a smooth emulsion. This beet skordalia will be your staple after you try it! It is dynamic, delicious and so simple to make. Give it a shot!
