Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

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.

ReplyDeleteGood choice on the diet. It is proven that certain foods that are part of a nutritionally balanced diet protect brain cells and may lower the risk of stroke and heart disease.Dark-skinned vegetables and fruits typically contain large amounts of antioxidants like for example broccoli,spinach, kale, red bell pepper, blueberries, blackberries, oranges, red grapes, prunes and raisins which promote good brain health. Also certain nuts such almonds, pecans and walnuts support proper brain function due to their high vitamin E content.
