Technique to learn

Skordalia Emulsification

Incorporating raw minced garlic, acidity, and extra virgin olive oil into hot mashed starches to build a creamy traditional side spread.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a shallow baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare skordalia by mashing hot boiled potatoes thoroughly. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil, grated garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and half of the sea salt until a smooth garlic potato dip forms.

Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat, add chopped swiss chard, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes until tender and dark green.

Step 4: Pat swordfish steaks dry with paper towels, place on the parchment sheet, season with dried oregano, remaining salt, pepper, and remaining olive oil.

Step 5: Roast swordfish steaks in the oven for 12 to 14 minutes until firm and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).

Step 6: Drizzle swordfish with remaining lemon juice and serve warm alongside braised greens and a scoop of garlic skordalia.

Cooking tips

Mash the potatoes while they are hot so they combine smoothly with olive oil without turning gummy.
Check swordfish thickness; adjust roast time slightly if fillets are thicker than one inch.
Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Greek; regional versions vary.
Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
