Ingredients
- 100 grams low-sodium fish roe (tarama or similar)
- 100 grams stale bread (crusts removed)
- 50 milliliters water
- 100 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 30 milliliters lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 clove garlic (optional, finely minced)
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the stale bread in a bowl and soak it with water. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water and set the moist bread aside.
Step 2
In a food processor, add the low-sodium fish roe, moist bread, and garlic (if using). Blend until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
With the food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice in alternating amounts to ensure a smooth and emulsified mixture.
Step 4
Once all the oil and lemon juice have been incorporated, taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with a pinch of white pepper, if needed.
Step 5
Transfer the taramosalata to a serving bowl, cover, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Serve chilled with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
