Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp chopped onion
  • 1 tsp chopped garlic
  • 1 (7- or 8-ounce) jar tarama
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus a little more for garnish
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 oz good white bread, preferably stale
  • 1 tbsp water, plus more if necessary (optional)
  • minced fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Directions

1

Combine the onion, garlic, tarama, and lemon juice in the container of a food processor or blender.

2

With the machine running, add olive oil through the feed tube or top, just as you would in making basic mayonnaise.

3

When the mixture is thick and all the oil is added, turn off the machine.

4

Trim the crusts from the bread and soak it in cold water for about 1 minute, until soggy.

5

Squeeze the water from the bread and, with the machine running, add the bread, a bit at time, to the olive oil mixture.

6

When all the bread is added, the mixture should be creamy and fairly light; if it seems too stiff, add water, 1 t at a time.

7

Refrigerate for up to a day before serving.

8

Garnish with lemon juice and parsley and serve with vegetables, pita, or crackers.
