Taramosalata is a classic Greek meze made by blending salted fish roe (tarama) with soaked breadcrumbs, onion, lemon juice and olive oil into a smooth dip. A long rest lets the salty roe flavor balance with the bread and olive oil.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soak the bread

15 min

Soak the stale breadcrumbs in water for 15 minutes, then squeeze out the water thoroughly.

2

Mix with the tarama

5 min

Combine the fish roe and soaked breadcrumbs in a bowl.

3

Add the onion and lemon

8 min

Add the grated onion and lemon juice, then blend with a blender or mixer until smooth.

4

Whisk in the olive oil

5 min

Gradually whisk in the olive oil, continuing until the dip is soft and smooth.

5

Chill

90 min

Cover the dip and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 90 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Reminder

Squeeze the soaked bread thoroughly; otherwise, the dip will be watery and lose its texture. Add the olive oil gradually to prevent the dip from splitting. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and fish (tarama).

Zeytinyağını çok hızlı ekledim ve ezme birden ayrıştı, yağ üstte topluca kaldı. Tekrar blenderden geçirip toparladım ama kıvam ilk seferindeki kadar pürüzsüz olmadı, biraz taneli kaldı.

Haklısınız, zeytinyağını gerçekten ince bir sızıntı halinde eklemek gerekiyor; hızlı döktüğünüzde emülsiyon bozuluyor. Toparlamak için soğuk bir kaşık su eklemek de işe yarayabilir.
