Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak the bread in cold water for 30 minutes.
  2. In a blender, mix the cod roes, scallion and half of the lemon juice and mix at medium speed to obtain a creamy texture.
  3. Thoroughly wring the bread and add it to the preparation and blend again.
  4. Stir in remaining lemon juice, pepper and reduce blender speed to low. Gently pour the olive oil until it is completely absorbed. You should obtain a thick cream.
  5. Do not add salt, as the smoked cod roes are already very salty.
