Taramosalata is an exemplary Greek tidbit made with fish roe, splashed bread, olive oil, and lemon juice. Satisfyingly scrumptious, this great, marginally pink plunge is wonderful served on pita bread as a component of a meze platter or a delicious lunch for certain olives and a serving of mixed greens as an afterthought.

Cooking 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)

Cooking Direction

    1. Place bread in a bowl, cover with water and let sit until the bread is well soaked, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain water from the bowl and squeeze all of the excess water from the bread.

    2. Combine bread, olive oil, onion, and lemon juice in a food processor; process until smooth. Add tarama and process until well combined.
