TARAMASALATA
Taramasalata is traditionally made from tarama, the salted and cured roe of the cod or the carp.
David Lebowitz suggests using lumpfish caviar if you can't get red roe. Very easy to make and no comparison with the bought variety.
Serves 8 to 10

50g (2oz) tarama (smoked fish roe, found in delicatessen
or Greek shops - not to be confused with the readymade tarama salata)
4 slices, white bread crust removed
1 cup oil
Lemon juice
​
-
Moisten the bread by placing it under tap and make sure that all slices are moisten, than squeeze out as much water as you can with your hands.
-
Place moist bread and tarama in food processor and blend.
-
If not blend fully, use spatula to mix it all nicely
-
Then pour oil a drop at a time for about 4 teaspoons, add a teaspoon of lemon juice, than add a teaspoon at a time. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice every ¼ cup of oil or when the tarama looks too waxy.
