Amaranth fresh greens or Vlita (or just horta) in Greek, are delicious, sweet Greens that are usually eaten as a beautiful, simple warm Salad!
In this recipe, I show you a traditional way to serve them by accompanying them with the delightful Politiki Skordalia i.e. Garlic Sauce (name originated from the Greeks of Constantinople or "Poli", todays Istanbul).
This type of Skordalia, made with bread and walnuts, goes so well with all kinds of boiled vegetables hence this combo.
You can serve the boiled greens either cold or warm together with the sauce. They make a wonderful, simple meal. Let's find out how to prepare them.
Suitable for vegans and fasting.
