Celebrate Greek National Day with Bakaliaros Skordalia!

As Greece’s National Day approaches on March 25th, it's the perfect time to revisit one of the country's most beloved dishes—Crispy Greek Cod (Bakaliaros Skordalia). This traditional combination of fried cod (bakaliaros) served with  Skordalia (a creamy garlic-potato puree) is a must-have on this special day.

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.

Check out my recipes for both Bakaliaros and Skordalia on the blog and make sure to add this delicious duo to your March 25th menu!

Stay tuned, as I am working on my first eBook with authentic greek recipes that I will release soon.
