Greek Walnut and Bread Dip - Skordalia me Karydia

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups old bread -- broken up, soaked in water for a couple of minutes, and then squeezed to remove excess water
5 garlic cloves -- 2 - 8 cloves to taste
1 1/4 cups olive oil
1 1/4 cups walnuts -- grated or broken up
1/3 cup wine vinegar
salt

Put the bread and garlic in a bowl with the salt and mix. Then gradually add the oil, nuts and vinegar. If it's too thick you can add a little warm water.

Its quite a lumpy dip if you make it by hand but you can use a processor and make it smooth. It's great served cold, with fried zucchini/courgettes and eggplants/aubergine.

Serves 4 to 6

ChupaNote: reduce the fat and carbs by replacing 1 cup of the olive oil with broth/stock/bouillon and replace the bread with leftover potatoes mashed with the oil and vinegar. Process the garlic and walnuts in the food processor with a few pulses until the size of grain. Mix the walnut & garlic into the potato/vinegar/oil combination. Season with salt. I also like to add ground Aleppo red pepper sprinkled over the surface.
