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.

Caramel Cream with Fresh Fruits (Karamelle)

Yesterday I had a couple of friends coming over for a visit and I wanted to prepare something quick but delicious at the same time. Since my friends, Terry and John, like fruits a lot, I decided to use bananas and pears in the recipe.

A different version of this recipe could be a traditional pudding, baked in the oven. I find the traditional version equally easy, but not as quick to make as the one I am giving you here.

----------------------------------------------------------

Caramel Cream with Fresh Fruits

Ingredients
1 packet of Morfat Caramel Cream
1 ready made packet of Caramel Sauce
24 Savoiardi biscuits
100gr raw almond nuts (crashed)
1 big banana (cut into thin slices)
1 pear (cut into thin slices)
1 rectangular deep pan (see photo)

Preparation Instruction
1) Prepare the Caramel Cream according to the instructions written on the package; allow to cool.
2) Pour the caramel sauce in the pan. Make sure that the bottom of the pan is well covered with the caramel.
3) Lay banana slices on top of the sauce; sprinkle 2 spoons of almonds on top of the banana layer.
4) Form a biscuit layer on top of those; then lay the pear slices on top of the biscuits.
5) Sprinkle 2 spoons of almonds; then form another biscuit layer.
6) Repeat stage (5) for another time. (Three biscuit layers)
7) Finally pour the Caramel Cream on top of the biscuits and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. It is better to serve the next day.

    That looks like a wonderful dessert. I noticed the name is that it's Greek name? Karamelle ... it's interesting because if you change that to a C, Caramelle, then you have Italian Candy :)
