Food Notes

Salt-cured cod and garlic spread (skordalia) are a “must” in the traditional festive menu for the Greek Independence Day, which is celebrated every year on March 25. So, let us honour this special occasion by twisting a little bit the original recipes. If you do not like skordalia, just skip it! You can finely mince a clove of garlic, spread it over your beetroots, and drizzle them with some wine vinegar and olive oil to kick their taste up a notch. As to the fish, frying or deep-frying is optional. Ovens do a lovely job too!

Music Pairing

Dionysios Lavrangas, “Introduction and Fugue on Two Greek Themes”.

Music Bites
