  • 1/2 cup blanched almonds, soaked in water for 3 hours and drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup prepared mashed potatoes
  • 2 ounces whole-wheat bread (crusts removed), soaked in water and squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  1. To prepare the skordalia, combine the garlic, almonds, lemon juice and salt in a food processor, and process until finely grainy. Add the parsley, mashed potatoes and bread; pulse 10 times. With the processor on, gradually add 1/4 cup oil until the mixture is creamy and thick. Add the pepper.

  3. To prepare the vegetables, place the beets in a medium saucepan; add 3 teaspoons lemon juice, cinnamon (if desired) and water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes or until tender. Drain well; let cool. Rub the peels off the beets; discarding the peels. Cut the beets into quarters.
  4. Place the red potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; cook for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain well.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil; swirl to coat. Add the snow peas and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Place the potatoes, beets and snow peas on a large platter; sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Garnish with lemon slices and serve with skordalia sauce.
