Skordalia is made with potatoes, garlic, olive oil, and a touch of vinegar or lemon juice for a tangy kick. It's rich, smooth, and full of flavor, making it the ideal accompaniment to the crispy, golden fried cod. A true comfort food that brings the spirit of Greece right to your table!
Whether you're celebrating Greek Independence Day with family or simply enjoying a hearty Mediterranean meal, Bakaliaros Skordalia is the perfect dish to honor this historical occasion.

“This delicious Air Fryer Chocolate Lava Cake will also be featured in my new baking book, coming soon — I can’t wait to share all my favorite recipes with you!”
The combination of soft pears and slightly tart apples worked surprisingly well with the rich frangipane. The buttery pâte sablée holds the almond cream perfectly, and a light glaze of honey made the fruit shine.
Even with a little improvisation, this tart brought the same joy and excitement to the table. A sweet reminder that sometimes the best desserts are the ones you adapt on the spot!
Note to self: definitely make this again soon – with more pears next time! ❤️
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can easily make this recipe in the oven or in a pan (read instructions at the end of the post).
If you try this recipe, let me know in the comments! I’d love to hear how it turned out.
Instead of boiling the cabbage to soften it, I tried freezing the raw leaves first - and it worked perfectly. This skips a tedious step and makes preparing stuffed cabbage rolls much faster, without sacrificing flavor.
One more tip: stick to the classic light green cabbage. I tried darker, curly frisée-type leaves, and the taste wasn’t as good.
