Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams salted fish roe (carp roe or cod roe)
- 200 grams potatoes, peeled and diced
- 120 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 piece garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt (optional, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.
Boil the diced potatoes in lightly salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
In a food processor, add the cooked potatoes, salted fish roe, minced garlic, chopped red onion, and water.
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a steady stream to emulsify the mixture.
Add the lemon juice, black pepper, and additional salt (if needed) to taste. Blend until fully incorporated and creamy.
Transfer the taramasalata to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with gluten-free crackers, vegetable sticks, or as a dip.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
