Ingredients

Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Soak the bread in water and then squeeze removing the water.
  2. In a mortar melt the roe and then add the bread. Continue to melt in the mortar until smooth or you can use a food processor for this step.
  3. Add gradually the oil and the lemon.
  4. Serve the taramosalata in a plate.
  5. You may add chopped onion.

Notes

  • *Note: This version is strong. Make it milder by using less fish roe (see below). Also if you use potato you will have much creamier and a bit denser taramosalata.
  • *Instead of bread you can use mashed potatoes. If you use potatoes boil them with the skin for about 20 minutes, starting with cold water and peel them when they have cooled off.
