Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup tarama (from one 8-ounce jar)
1/2 russet potato (about 4 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 baguette, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices and toasted
Sugar snap peas, baby carrots, patty pan squashes, and zucchini flowers, for serving

Steps:

  • Place roe in a bowl, and cover with cold water. Soak for 10 minutes. Drain in a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth. Rinse in sieve, and drain. Gather cheesecloth around roe, and squeeze out water.
  • Meanwhile, place potato in a small saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Add salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and let cool.
  • Puree roe, potato, lemon juice, and pepper in a food processor. With machine running, add oil, and process until the mixture is smooth. Season with more pepper. Serve with toasts and crudites.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my taramasalata turned out really oily.

This recipe was a disaster. The taramasalata was too runny and the spring crudités were limp.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

The taramasalata was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought taramasalata. I'll try making my own next time.

I love that this recipe uses spring crudités instead of bread or crackers. It makes it a much healthier and refreshing appetizer.

I made this taramasalata for a party last weekend and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the way the lemon juice and dill balanced out the richness of the taramasalata.

Wow! This taramasalata is amazing! I've never had anything like it before. The flavor is so rich and creamy, and the texture is perfect. The spring crudités are a great addition, too. They add a nice crunch and freshness.
