Ingredients
- 300 grams cauliflower
- 80 grams smoked cod roe
- 120 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 30 milliliters fresh lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove
- 45 milliliters water
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and steam them over boiling water for about 8-10 minutes or until tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
While the cauliflower is cooling, peel and mince the garlic clove finely.
Step 3
In a food processor, add the steamed cauliflower, smoked cod roe, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture starts to combine.
Step 4
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, a little at a time, to create a smooth, emulsified mixture.
Step 5
Add the water to adjust the consistency and blend until the desired texture is achieved. The mixture should be creamy and smooth but not too thick.
Step 6
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste, then blend again briefly to incorporate.
Step 7
Transfer the taramasalata to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks like cucumber, celery, or bell peppers. Alternatively, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
