Gluten Free Skordalia

Do yourself a favor and partake of this simple rustic treat inspired by the fabulous spud. As anyone will happily agree – a spud is never a dud; and these mashed spuds are simple and sublime. There are a ton of fantastic skordalia recipes out there. A lot of them use crusty bread, which is of course, is a recipe for disaster, for those of us snouting in the gluten-free trough.

This squash is so decadently buttery and sweet that it is difficult to believe that it is not dessert. We owe our sweet neighbor our gratitude for supplying us fresh, organic acorn squash lovingly plucked from her garden. She has ignited a squash passion in our house and this dish has become a nightly delight.

Here’s a way to prepare collard greens that cuts the cooking time down to a fraction of the long simmer typically associated with these tough leaves. In this case, the leaves are cut into very thin strips, which breaks the fibers and helps the greens wilt. The seasonings are lighter, too, with pork fatback, salt pork, or ham hocks being replaced with olive oil, chile flakes, and garlic.
