Ingredients

• 300 grams Cauliflower florets
• 100 grams Tarama (salted fish roe, such as carp roe)
• 120 ml Olive oil
• 60 ml Lemon juice
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Let the cauliflower cool completely.

Step 2

In a food processor, add the cooked cauliflower florets and pulse until smooth. Add the tarama and garlic, and process until well combined and smooth.

Step 3

With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, ensuring it emulsifies with the mixture. Add the lemon juice and water, then blend until the dip is creamy and fluffy. If the mixture is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of water, one at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 4

Taste the taramosalata and season with salt and black pepper, if using. Blend one final time to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Before serving, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkling of parsley, or a few pieces of raw vegetables if desired. Serve with low-carb vegetable sticks like cucumber, celery, or bell pepper slices.
