Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams tarama (cured fish roe)
- 100 grams stale bread (crusts removed)
- 120 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon onion (finely grated)
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Soak the stale bread in cold water for 2-3 minutes until softened. Squeeze out the excess moisture thoroughly and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, add the tarama (fish roe), finely grated onion, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the squeezed bread to the blender in small amounts, blending thoroughly between each addition to create a smooth texture.
Once the bread is completely incorporated and the mixture is creamy, drizzle in the olive oil slowly while blending, followed by the cold water.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt to the blender and blend until well combined. The mixture should be light and fluffy.
Season with black pepper to taste and give one final blend to mix evenly.
Transfer the low-fat tarama to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers.
