Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup tarama (from one 8-ounce jar)
1/2 russet potato (about 4 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 baguette, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices and toasted
Sugar snap peas, baby carrots, patty pan squashes, and zucchini flowers, for serving

Steps:

  • Place roe in a bowl, and cover with cold water. Soak for 10 minutes. Drain in a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth. Rinse in sieve, and drain. Gather cheesecloth around roe, and squeeze out water.
  • Meanwhile, place potato in a small saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Add salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and let cool.
  • Puree roe, potato, lemon juice, and pepper in a food processor. With machine running, add oil, and process until the mixture is smooth. Season with more pepper. Serve with toasts and crudites.

Overall, I thought this recipe was good. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less salt in the taramasalata and I would add some kind of dressing or dip to the crudites.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for my taste. I would recommend using a store-bought taramasalata instead of making it from scratch.

This recipe was a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and radishes that were about to go bad, so I used them to make the crudites. The taramasalata was also a great way to use up some leftover bread.

The crudites were a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some kind of dressing or dip to them.

This recipe was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more traditional taramasalata recipe.
