Time 2h5m

Yield 28

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 potato
8 slices white sandwich bread
2 cups milk
½ cup carp roe
1 small onion, chopped
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup olive oil, or more if needed
2 Greek olives

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick the potato in several places with a fork and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake the potato in the preheated oven easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool completely in refrigerator. Peel and chop.
  • Place the bread slices in a shallow dish; pour the milk over the bread to cover completely. Allow to soak a few minutes before squeezing as much moisture as possible from the bread, discarding the milk.
  • Blend the bread, potato, carp roe, onion, lemon juice, and olive oil together in a food processor until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add more olive oil if needed to reach a desired consistency; chill. Garnish with the Greek olives to serve.

This taramosalata was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll add a bit more lemon juice next time.

This taramosalata is the perfect make-ahead appetizer. I made it a few days ahead of time and it was still delicious.

I added a bit of smoked paprika to the taramosalata, and it gave it a really nice smoky flavor.

I didn't have any dill on hand, so I used parsley instead. The taramosalata still turned out great.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler taramosalata recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my taramosalata turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of fish eggs, but I'm so glad I did. The taramosalata was creamy and flavorful, and the fish eggs were not overpowering at all. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made taramosalata before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of lemon juice and dill really brightens up the flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
