Skordalia (garlic Potato)

As the flower in the garden stretches toward the light of the sun, so there is in the child a mysterious inclination toward the eternal light. Have you ever noticed this mysterious thing that when you tell the smallest child about God, [he or she] never asks with strangeness and wonder, “What or who is God – I have never seen Him,” but listens with shining face to the words as though they soft loving sounds from the land of home. Or when you teach a child to fold [his or her] little hands in prayer that [he or she] does this as though it were a matter of course, as though [it was] opening for [the child] that world of which [he or she] had been dreaming with longing and anticipation. Or tell them, these little ones, the stories of the Savior, show them the pictures with scenes and personages of the Bible – how their pure eyes shine, how their little hearts beat.

INSTRUCTIONS

This makes enough Skordalia for several meals. Skordalia is a tasty
side dish. It can also be used as a relish. Keep it refrigerated.  Boil
the unpeeled potatoes in water (salted if required, but not
necessary).  Crush the garlic into a mixing bowl. Peel the potatoes,
and add them  to the bowl whilst they are still hot.  Add a pinch of
salt. Mix the garlic and potato mixture to a pulp;  using a food
processor or mixer.  Alternately, add the lemon juice and olive oil
gradually, until all  the ingredients are blended into a smooth
mixture.  Put the mixture into a bowl, garnish with parsley, olives and
the  slices of lemon.  Notes  The amount of garlic can be varied
according to taste; like this it  has a strong flavour.  Skordalia can
be surved as a cold side dish, with vegetables.  Posted by Kaz Glover
