Ingredients

  • 13 ounces bread, crust removed
  • cold water to cover
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 small onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 large lemon, juiced
  • 1 cup tarama (cured carp, cod, or mullet roe)

Directions

Step 1
Place bread in a bowl, cover with water and let sit until the bread is well soaked, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain water from the bowl and squeeze all of the excess water from the bread.

Step 2
Combine bread, olive oil, onion, and lemon juice in a food processor; process until smooth. Add tarama and process until well combined.

Tips

When finished blending ingredients, taste and adjust if necessary — add more lemon juice if too bitter, more tarama if you like a stronger flavor, or more olive oil if a richer texture is desired.
