Name: Skordalia
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 1 cup plain yogurt; 4 garlic cloves, pressed; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or 1 tablespoon dried; salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Skordalia is often made with mashed potatoes or bread soaked in water, but we feel the yogurt gives it more flavor. Skordalia is also good with grilled fish or chicken breasts.
