Recipe Introduction
This is a wonderful traditional Greek recipe and is worth trying to make for yourself, Greek food recipe at its best!
List of Ingredients
Taramasalata (Fish Roe Salad)
8oz (225grams) Cod roe
juice of half a lemon
5 fluid oz (150ml)of olive oil
5 fluid oz ground nut oil
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon of chopped parsleyRecipe
Before you start, soak the cod's roe in cold water for at least a couple of hours, then rinse and drain it thoroughly before peeling off the skin.
Now put the roe in a mixing bowl and mash it first to a pulp using a fork then, with an electric beater, whisk it at top speed, gradually pouring in the lemon juice.
Next, start adding the oils a drop at a time (still whisking as you would when making mayonnaise) and keep adding oil until the mixture becomes solid and dry – forming lumps and working its way up the sides of the bowl.
At this stage you can start to beat in a little boiling water, say 2 fl oz (55 ml) or just enough to turn the mixture into a soft mousse. (Don't add the water before the mixture has become solid or it will separate.)
Finally add the crushed garlic and parsley, and serve with croutons or warm crusty bread and Greek olives.
