Taramosalata

Description

Taramosalata is a classic Greek appetizer (meze). Satisfyingly delicious, it goes a long way as a party nibble and is also nice to have in the fridge for a quick lunch with some olives and a salad on the side. Fish roe is high in Omega 3 and Vitamin B12, and this is a great way to enjoy it.

Ingredients

  • 13 ounces bread, crust removed
  • cold water to cover
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 small onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 large lemon, juiced
  • 1 cup tarama (cured carp, cod, or mullet roe)

Instructions

  1. Place bread in a bowl

  3. 5 to 10 minutes. Drain water from the bowl and squeeze all of the excess water from the bread.
  4. Combine bread
  5. olive oil
  6. onion
  7. and lemon juice in a food processor; process until smooth and homogeneous. Add tarama and process until well combined.
