How To Prepare Taramosalata

 

 

 

 

 

Taramasalata is traditionally made out of taramas, the salted roe of the cod or carp. The roe is either mixed with bread crumbs or mashed potatoes. Parsley, onion, lemon juice, olive oil and vinegar are added and it is seasoned with salt and pepper.

Depending on the type of roe used, the colour of taramasalata can be different. You will find taramasalata in colours from beige to bright pink.

Does it involve mint or cucumbers?

Isn't that Tzatziki

26 Jul 2010 ... This Greek yoghurt sauce made with cucumbers and fresh mint is a classic. Serve with kebabs, chips, crusty bread or warm pitta.

Only if you really want to add cucumbers!!

 

........ but you could just cut those into thin sticks and use them to dip into the taramasalata, along with some carrots, peppers and other veggie stuffs perhaps - less messy than putting it in the middle of the table for people to eat by dipping fingers in!

Avoid the bright pink concoctions you buy in supermarkets. They taste nothing like the real thing.

Taramas is best washed down with copious glasses of retsina as you watch the sun set over the Aegean. (It's not bad though on a summer's evening on the Grand Union either :))

 

Apparently Taramasalata is the only word in the English language that every other letter is A!

 

It's not English, though - it's Greek :P

but I'm told it's tasty...

 

Will it cook on a fire?

 

edit; I thought it involved Avocados but I may be proved wrong..

 

That's the spicey one involving avocados, tomatoes, squeeze of lemon, bit of onion and garlic, chilli powder and tabasco. Can be presented alongside raita - that's the cucumber, yoghurt, onion, garlic one. Put on the table alongside the taramasalata with something to dip into them a and a bottle of wine (maybe two bottles if you've got company :P ) and off you go.

Unnecessary crudity?
