Taramasalata
- 1/2 cup tarama (from one 8-ounce jar)
- 1/2 russet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Place roe in a bowl and cover with cold water; soak 10 minutes.
- Drain in a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth.
- Rinse; drain again.
- Gather cheesecloth around roe, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Meanwhile, cover potato in a saucepan with 2 inches cold water and add 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Drain, and let cool.
- Puree roe, potato, and lemon juice in a food processor.
- With machine running, add oil and process until smooth.
- Season with pepper.
- The dips here are accompanied by spring produce, but nearly any vegetable can be used in a platter of crudites.
- Serve tender vegetables, such as celery, snap peas, and baby carrots, raw; broccoli, green beans, and cauliflower are better (and lose little nutritional value) when blanched for 2 to 3 minutes in boiling water and then shocked in an ice-water bath.
