Skorthalia (Greek Garlic Sauce) image

This is from Jeff Smith, The Frugal Gourmet, 1984. If you serve this at a party, everyone must have some, or some of your guests may be offended! Can use as a sauce for fried calamari or as a spread for crudite, torn pita bread, or crackers. Not for the faint of heart!

I think this sauce would be better with a little bit of heat.

I've never been a big fan of garlic, but this sauce has changed my mind. It's so smooth and creamy that you can't even taste the garlic.
