Authentic Taramosalata Recipe: A Delicious Greek Fish Roe Dip

Taramosalata

Yield: 4
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

One of the easiest starters to make if you enjoy Greek Cuisine.

Ingredients

  • 20gr of whitefish roe (taramas)
  • 180gr of a couple of days old bread without the crust
  • 1 small white onion (+/- 60gr)
  • 5 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
  • HORRAON Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil (+/- half teacup)
  • White Pepper (If you fancy a more spicy taste)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl filled with water, we add the bread and we let it soak.
  2. Before using it, with your hands squeeze out the excess water.
  3. Using a food processor or blender, we add the onion and we blend it into a thick paste. If needed we use a spoon to push any uncut pieces to the blades and we blend again.
  4. We add the whitefish roe (tarama) and blend it with the onion until our mix is smooth.
  5. We add 1/3 of the soaked and drained bread and blend it.
  6. We add 1/3 of the HORRAON Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil and blend.
  7. We continue adding the bread and the HORRAON Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the same manner until we use them all.
  8. We add half of the lemon juice into the processor and blend.
  9. We add the rest of the lemon and blend until everything is emulsified.

Notes

– The ingredients must be added one by one, in small portions, in order to have a beautiful and smooth result.
– It’s better to use the whitefish roe (tarama). The quality and the taste are far better than the red one.
– Taramosalata can be preserved in our fridge for up to 5 days.
– It is best served with fresh crusty bread.
