Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

  Photo taken from Athinorama Umami Taramosalata There are also the Greek classics, think something like a dip but instead of using nachos or vegetables to eat them we use bread. Taramosalata is one of those dishes.   It is roe fish blended into a creamy pink dip of pureed potatoes with parsley, lemon juice, and finely chopped onion (optional).   In meze, this is one of the first dishes that it is served.   In taverns, they always bring it along with salad, tzatziki, and tahini.   We will talk about the last two later.   Well, let’s see our recipe…   Ingredients 2 kg tarama (fish roe). 1 large potato or two small ones 450gr of Greek bread 1 tsp of shredded and dried onion 1 cup olive oil The juice of one lemon (medium size) Tarama is the hardest ingredient to find, so it is a good idea to look at groceries that import Mediterranean food.

Digestive Biscuits (Eggless)

It makes nine regular biscuits.
Preparation time: 5’ minutes
Baking time: 15’ minutes

Digestive biscuits are ideal for a diet snack or to form the basis of cheesecakes. Up to now I never thought of baking them, but since I am on a diet now, I decided it is time to learn how to make them.

I discovered that:
1) they are extremely easy to make,
2) the ingredients are simple, you can find them anywhere, and
3) there are no eggs involved.

Below you will be able to find all the preparation steps. Try them, I am sure you will love every single bite :-)!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a large bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Mix in the oatmeal. 
Add the butter and sugar to the mixture, and mix well. 

Stir in the milk until mixture forms a thick paste.

Form the biscuits with the help of a cookie spoon.



Bake 15' to 18' minutes, or until golden.


Let cool on wire rack. Store in an airtight tin.

  18. Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no data backup.

    Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
