Ingredients

  • 300-350 g stale / day old sourdough baguette, sliced
  • water
  • 3 oz fish roe
  • 1 medium red or white onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2-3/4 cup olive oil
  • olive oil, parsley and black olives for garnish
  • pitas for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak the bread: Add the sliced bread to a large bowl and cover with water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, until the bread is well-soaked. Drain the water and squeeze any excess water from the bread.
  2. Add bread to a food processor along with the fish roe, onion and lemon juice. Blend until all of the ingredients come together, it might be a pulp-like mixture.
  3. Start blending on high speed while streaming in the olive oil, a little bit at a time. Start by using ½ cup of olive oil and then taste and check the texture - it should be thick, smooth and creamy. If needed, add an additional ¼ cup olive oil, blending slowly.
  4. Serve in a low bowl or on a plate garnished with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh parsley and a few black olives and pita for dipping.
