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. It is usually sold in larger jars, but you can store the remainder in the freezer for months. Peel the potatoes and cut t

  16. It was nice to see a dinner recipe here! This chicken dinner looks quick for those last minute weeknight dinners and I'm sure everyone would enjoy it. Our memories are filled with food from our childhood and how our parents/grandparents/etc. cooked for special occasions (and sometimes the regular days too) that as adults we look back and remember with such fondness that special meal. Our senses are so attuned to our memories, whether it is a fantastic family dish, a special scent such as your mother's perfume, or that special song. Recipes such as this can start new memories as well! Good food and good times for all! ~Michelle M.
