Skordalia "Garlic" Mash

Very potent garlic sauce made with mash potato and olive oil.

It's nothing like tsitsiki dip which is mild this is potent but delicious as an appetizer.

WARNING:
For all you oldies out there that might try it remember garlic drops the blood pressure, so if that happens eat a couple of oranges or drink orange juice and go straight to the doctor, just be careful if you have those problems.

Recipe:

Peel and steam 6 potatoes, we use the brushed potatoes.

When they are ready place in a bowl.

Use one garlic glove for every potato, if potato is bigger than a cricket ball then add extra garlic in proportion to one glove for a cricket ball sized potato.

Mash the potatoes and use a garlic press to mix in the garlic.

Then add the following

1. a flat tablespoon of armond meal

2. A flat tea spoon of salt

3. Squeeze a whole lemon

4. Olive oil - 150 to 200 millilitres, don't be shy this is what makes it.

5. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients mix well.

6. Sprinkle some pepper in and on top.

7. Place in fridge for a couple of hours and then serve.. Cool

Seriously dude if you make that salad with home grown tomatoes, dipping bread into the juices at the bottom of the bowl once the fruit is gone is better than crackle or the outer crust of pizza.

Hey Frank

Boss just got home and said the following, probably too late but maybe for next time.

For 2 kilos of meat

1. Place meat in a tray that can hold water

2. Put 3 cups of water

3. Put 1/2 cup of olive oil

4. Juice from a couple of lemons

5. 2 tablespoons of oregano

6. Sat and pepper

7. About 6 slots all over and insert cleaned garlic gloves in the slots

8. Place silver paper over roast/tray and cook for about 1-1/2 hours or test to your liking

9. Take tray out add potato and other vegies whatever you like

10. Cover with silver paper again put in oven and cook until vegies ready

Note you might have to add some more water like 1/2 a cup.

When you take it out sprinkle with olive oil and lemon juice then it's ready to serve.

Thanks, I'll do that.
I have a one kilo piece of beef eye fillet so I will reduce the oven time to about one hour. Will do thee 'hide the garlic in the slots', too.... AND I am doing the garlicky mash, too.
