Taramasalata is  a Greek dip made from the roe of the carp fish. Most commonly the roe  is a bright pink color.  If you can find the "white" version , buy it.  Although more expensive it is produced without food coloring.

 

Ingredients:

7 ounces (200 grams) Tarama

2 slices Italian bread  approximately 3 inches (7.5 cm) thick with crust removed

1 medium boiled potato, peeled

4 scallions, the white part with some of the green part attached, finely chopped

1/2 cup olive oil

Juice from 2 lemons or approximately 1/3 cup of lemon juice.

 

Directions:

1. Soak the bread in water and squeeze out excess water.

2. Combine the tarama, bread, potatoes, and scallions in a food processor. Pulse until well combined. Continue pulsing as you slowly add the olive oil and lemon juice.  The result should be a creamy spread.

3. Serve chilled and accompanied with bread and strimmed scallions.
