Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Tarama (fish roe)
- 200 grams Riced cauliflower (steamed and drained)
- 150 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 60 ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced)
- 30 ml Water (cold)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Prepare the riced cauliflower by steaming it until tender but not mushy. Drain thoroughly and allow it to cool. Squeeze out any excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, ensuring the cauliflower is as dry as possible.
In a food processor, combine the tarama (fish roe), minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the riced cauliflower to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. This process emulsifies the dip, giving it a creamy and rich texture.
Once the olive oil is incorporated, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and cold water. Blend again until smooth and fluffy.
Season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, blending briefly to combine.
Transfer the taramosalata to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with keto-friendly crackers, cucumber slices, or celery sticks. Enjoy!
