Greek Vegetarian Garlic Dip - Skordalia

Submitted by Melinda from IL

"This is a very tasty dip that is served with a number of Greek dishes. One portion (4.5 oz) is about 100 calories."

Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil
5-6 cloves garlic
5 slices of bread (remove hard part)
some vinegar
salt

Directions:
Peel garlic and marinate (leave) it in the vinegar for about five hours. Press garlic into pulp and add the bread after soaking it in water and straining it well. Add 2-3 teaspoons of vinegar, the salt and beat the mixture while slowly adding the oil. If you find it too thick, add some water. Serve with olives in a shallow dish.

Variations:
1. Add half a cup of finely ground walnuts.
2. Replace the bread with 5 medium sized potatoes (boiled and hot).

Garlic dip usually accompanies fried codfish, fried zucchini or fried eggplant.
