Ingredients

• 100 grams salted fish roe (carp roe or cod roe)
• 200 grams potatoes, peeled and diced
• 120 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 piece garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons salt (optional, to taste)
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Boil the diced potatoes in lightly salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.

In a food processor, add the cooked potatoes, salted fish roe, minced garlic, chopped red onion, and water.

Step 4

Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a steady stream to emulsify the mixture.

Step 6

Add the lemon juice, black pepper, and additional salt (if needed) to taste. Blend until fully incorporated and creamy.

Step 7

Transfer the taramasalata to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with gluten-free crackers, vegetable sticks, or as a dip.

Step 8

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
