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.

  21. What a cute cake! This would be great for Father's Day too. If I made a cake for my father, it would be a blue work uniform without a tie, and with a toolbox. He only wore a tie for weddings and my parents' anniversary dinner. Our perceptions of our parents as we grow up changes. They are the center of our universe and our prime protectors/providers as kids. This can carryover into adulthood and we either emulate our parents when we become parents ourselves, or we change our parenting style to not be like them (if we did not have a great childhood). Why make those same mistakes again? I hope this cake was delicious and the "boys" enjoyed it - even if they aren't there to eat it! ~Michelle M.
