Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Cod roe (sustainably sourced)
- 250 grams Cauliflower (steamed and cooled)
- 100 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 60 ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 Garlic clove
- 50 ml Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Dill (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5 minutes. Let them cool completely to room temperature.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the cod roe and garlic. Blend for a few seconds until the mixture is slightly broken down.
Add the steamed cauliflower to the blender, followed by the olive oil, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper, blending again to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
Taste and adjust the salt, lemon juice, or texture by adding more olive oil or water, if desired.
Transfer the taramosalata to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped dill if using.
Serve immediately with raw vegetable sticks, such as cucumber or carrot, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
