Method

  1. To make the taramasalata, soak the white bread in water until soft, 30 seconds or so. Squeeze as much water out as possible and place in a food processor.

  2. Add the salted cod roe and onion and process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil until the mixture emulsifies into a thick mayonnaise consistency. Don’t worry if the mixture is too thick, as adding the remaining ingredients will help loosen the mixture.
