Taramasalata Greek

Traditional Greek dishes are usually served as snacks or during lent, when eating fish is acceptable. Caviar of elite varieties is not used, any fine-grained, for example, pollock or cod, will do. As an experiment with flavors, you can choose not only the type of fish, but also the method of processing caviar. It can be salted or smoked. We try a new one every time and decide on our favorite snack taste.

We start cooking with potatoes. Boil it in a uniform until ready, slightly salting the water immediately after boiling. We take out the finished potatoes from the water and leave them to cool completely. After that, you can start the main part of the sauce preparation.

White bread, divided into small pieces, soaked in water. Bread can be taken not fresh, this is a great way to dispose of already dried.

Soak the bread in water for 10 minutes. While the process is underway, peel the onion and garlic. Cut the onion into small cubes, and garlic into plates.

The potatoes that have already completely cooled down are peeled and cut into small pieces. Combine all the vegetables in a blender bowl and chop. We work with a blender until all the products turn into a completely homogeneous mass without grains and lumps.

Pieces of soaked white bread squeeze out excess moisture and send it to the blender bowl to the chopped vegetables. Grind with a blender again so that the bread is completely combined with the vegetable base.

Wash the greens, dry, finely chop and put it also in the blender bowl.

Add fish caviar. Squeeze the juice from the lemon, pour it into the blender bowl. We also add olive oil there. We don't pour it all at once. Add one spoonful, grind with a blender until it dissolves. Then we pour in the second one, work with a blender again, and then the third one. After adding the last portion of oil, beat the mass again with a blender.

The appetizer sauce is ready, we decorate it with olive, lemon slices or fresh herbs and we can serve it to the table and really surprise the guests.

Bon appetit!
