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.

How to transform Ice Cream Cones into Sugar Painted Cones


I used these Ice Cream Cones for making Castle Towers. The technique is very easy and simple. I used only 4 ingredients which were the ice cream cones, caster sugar, food coloring, and white sugar. 
These Castle Towers were used for a Princess Castle I made two days ago, for two lovely sisters, Marissa and Corina who had a birthday party on the 22nd of October.  I will post the Castle Cake in a future post.

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

On a plate, mix together the white sugar and the food coloring. 
Stir until the color is well blended into the sugar and then set aside.
On another plate melt your white chocolate. I cut the chocolate into small pieces and I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. (I used high heat)
Stir a bit, until the chocolate temperature is reduced to 30º degrees (not hot anymore).


Then take a cone and place it into the white chocolate, making sure that it is covered with chocolate.  Use your spatula to take off the excess chocolate.





Place the chocolate-covered cone into the sugar and, with the help of a teaspoon, cover the cone with the sugar.




Put them in the fridge for 5’ minutes. Your sugar-painted cones are ready to be used!!!

    This is such a great technique you have shared. Those cones could come in handy! I am thinking with green they could become Christmas trees, on top of a round of frozen ice cream they could become hats and the list goes on...Great post!

    Very cool technique for making towers for cakes! I, however would let it dry and put a couple of scoops of ice cream in it and eat it just as it is! : )
