Ingredients

• 100 grams Cod roe (sustainably sourced)
• 250 grams Cauliflower (steamed and cooled)
• 100 ml Extra virgin olive oil
• 60 ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 Garlic clove
• 50 ml Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5 minutes. Let them cool completely to room temperature.

Step 2

In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the cod roe and garlic. Blend for a few seconds until the mixture is slightly broken down.

Step 3

Add the steamed cauliflower to the blender, followed by the olive oil, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

Step 4

Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper, blending again to incorporate the seasoning evenly.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the salt, lemon juice, or texture by adding more olive oil or water, if desired.

Step 6

Transfer the taramosalata to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped dill if using.

Step 7

Serve immediately with raw vegetable sticks, such as cucumber or carrot, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
