Skordalia is something I grew up seeing at Greek weddings and parties but I haven’t eaten it for many years…
until our good friend, Tatum, brought some over the other night to snack on while watching the UFC. It had poppyseeds in it, which I haven’t seen before and instantly felt inspired to create my own ‘healthier’ version using way less oil and low carb potatoes.
Tatum promised to love me forever if I could pull it off, and I think I have managed to! If you do like a smoother/runnier Skordalia, feel free to add extra olive oil in. Looking forward to seeing this served and enjoyed for Christmas in only 1 month :O
