  • ¼ brown onion

  • 1 Lemon juice
  • 2tbl spoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds

Method

  1. To make the taramasalata, soak the white bread in water until soft, 30 seconds or so. Squeeze as much water out as possible and place in a food processor.

  2. Add the salted cod roe and onion and process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil until the mixture emulsifies into a thick mayonnaise consistency. Don’t worry if the mixture is too thick, as adding the remaining ingredients will help loosen the mixture.
