Greek Garlic Sauce - Skordalia - is a delicious accompaniment for a variety of dishes, but here we have it with beetroot. It can also be served on top of green beans and potatoes - adding olive oil to the vegetables before you pour the sauce on top, and is an excellent accompaniment, with the vegetables, for fried squid or any other fried seafood.
And, by the way, don't worry - you and your breath don't smell of garlic after you've eaten it! Try it - it's really tasty. The food on the plate you see in the photo didn't last long after I had taken the photo!

That sounds good. I just recently cooked my first fresh beet. I had only ever had them canned but since they are so easy and yummy I don't need to buy them canned anymore. I will definitely be trying them with this sauce. Thanks. Great blog!
