Greek Fish Roe Dip

Greek Fish Roe Dip

Ingredients:


6 to 8 slices stale white bread, crusts removed
6 oz tarama
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 to 2 cups finest quality
Extremely virgin olive oil
Juice of 2 or 3 lemons
Crackers, bread and/or or raw vegetables for dipping

Soak the bread in water for 5 minutes. Squeeze out as much water as possible and place in an electric blender or food processor. Add the tarama, the onion and a little of the oil, and process on high speed, adding the oil in a thin stream until a smooth, cream colored paste is formed.

Add the lemon juice to taste. The consistency of taramosalata is a matter of personal taste; some cooks prefer it thinner and some thicker.

Serve in a bowl with crackers, bread and or raw vegetables for dipping.

Makes roughly 3 cups.
