Taramosalata
- 6 ounces firm white bread, crusts removed and 1-inch pieces
- 4 ounces jarred tarama (carp roe)
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
- 1/4 cup water, or as needed
- Toasted pita chips or bread, for serving
- Put the bread in a bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 cup water.
- Let sit for 5 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water and put the bread in the bowl of a food processor, with the tarama, onion and lemon juice.
- Pulse the tarama mixture until it begins to become smooth.
- With motor running, add the olive oil in a slow stream and process until the mixture is very smooth.
- The taramosalata should be the consistency of a velvety hummus.
- Add enough water to loosen the mixture, if needed.
- To serve, spoon the taramosalata in a wide shallow bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
- Serve with toasted pita chips.
