TARAMOSALATA



Taramosalata image

Taramosalata is a classic Greek appetizer (meze). Satisfyingly delicious, it goes a long way as a party nibble and is also nice to have in the fridge for a quick lunch with some olives and a salad on the side. Fish roe is high in Omega 3 and Vitamin B12, and this is a great way to enjoy it.

TARAMASALATA

While this is a sturdy and reliable recipe for making the greek cod roe spread called taramasalata from scratch, funnily enough it doesn't call for cod roe. I've come to prefer the commonly available and affordable salmon roe instead. If you are putting together a greek meze plate - with feta and kalamata olives, some marinated octopus and skordalia - save the brine from the feta and use it to season the taramasalata instead of lemon juice and see what you think. It lends a great acidity. Be sure to take the extra step of grating the cooked potato instead of more conveniently throwing it into the food processor and whizzing - to avoid a gluey texture. It'll keep in the fridge for a week and can be used a few ways all summer - add a grated white onion and toss with shaved celery and diced tomatoes as a salad dressing. Or thin with a little of the potato cooking water and some good olive oil and consider it as a sauce for whole grilled fish.

Categories     condiments, appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield About 8 cups. (Send some home with all your guests!)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups corn oil
1/2 yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 1/3 pounds (about 2) Idaho potatoes, boiled, peeled, cooled and chopped
1 1/2 cups blanched, sliced almonds
1 cup (8 ounces) tarama (carp roe caviar)
1 1/4 cups lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup seltzer, or as needed

Steps:

  • Have ready a stand mixer fitted with a grinding attachment. (You may use a ricer or grater, but the results will not be the same). Coat your mixing bowl with a small amount of corn oil. Pass the onion, potatoes and almonds through the grinder and into the bowl. Fold in the tarama.
  • Remove the meat grinder and fit the mixer with the paddle (or use a wooden spoon). With the mixer on medium, add the lemon juice and then the remaining corn oil in a slow and steady stream. Slowly add the olive oil, mixing constantly. Add the seltzer a few tablespoons at a time. It should have the consistency of a light and airy mousse. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

TARAMOSALATA

This is too good to be believed - you'll just have to make it! Do try to find the white tarama - it is so much better than the pink. In Greece, this is eaten as a meze, with pita crisps or crusty bread. It makes a fantastic dip too.
