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.

ReplyDeleteEverything you do is way to cute!
ReplyDeleteToo pretty to eat!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Cupcakes seem to be all the rage to make now and coming up with ideas on how to decorate them in a unique way can be challenging! Just like keeping your mind active and creative can help you stay young at heart (in your mind). Games, puzzles, social interaction with friends and family help you to stay healthy and hearty. My grandmother-in-law will be 99 years old this year! She still sees neighbors and friends all the time to keep her mind and body active. I hope I can live that long and have a wonderful (and creative) life. Keep up the great work! ~Michelle M.

ReplyDeleteSome people have talent to create beautiful cakes and others have talent to paint or sing or talk. It's genetics, Psychology said, and its also your environment. If you were encouraged and praised when you were a child, if you were nurtured and taught, then creating beautiful cakes will be as easy as putting on your shoes. As usual, these are beautiful, almost too good too eat!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. Summer, beach and cupcakes sounds really good. Cupcakes are really fun to decorate especially if your creative even if your not, it really helps you interact with family members and stay active. Also its always something fun especially with kids.
