| Walnut Skordalia
(Dairy) Skordalia is a pareve Greek dish traditionally made with mashed potatoes, olive oil and crushed garlic blended together and served with fish, fried zucchini or aubergines slices. This is a lighter, dairy summer version, ideal as a dip for crudities or to be served with pita bread or on crackers. 250g/8fl Mayonnaise or Soy Mayonnaise 2 garlic cloves, chopped 50g/2oz chopped walnuts 25g/1oz breadcrumbs or Matzo meal 30ml/2 tbsp Greek yoghurt Juice of 1/2 lemon 15 ml/1 tbs toasted sesame seeds 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil Put all the ingredients into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Pour into a bowl and chill. Arrange vegetables (small cauliflower florets, celery sticks, carrot strips etc) on a serving plate and place the bowl in the middle. You canreplace half of the Mayonnaise with Greek yoghurt, which makes it lower in calories and more elegant in taste.
