Taramosalata is the famous, fluffy pink dip, a very tasty, salty and creamy dip/salad made out of tarama. Tarama is the Greek "caviar", the roe (i.e. tiny eggs) of either cod, carp or mullet.
Taramosalata is a classic during Lent in Greece and traditionally consumed on Clean Monday together with Lagana Flatbread.
Greek people love it, so it is also eaten in many times of the year accompanying Ouzo and other meze dishes. It has a “peculiar” acquired taste, so you will find people who love it or hate it! I certainly belong in the 1st category. And I say to the people who hate it: try homemade Taramosalata first, before you make up your mind.
Tip: When buying tarama you should make sure it has a pleasant, spicy, salty smell and doesn’t smell rancid or “fishy”. There are 2 types of tarama: pink and white and you can use either to make Taramosalata (white being the best quality).
It is actually very easy to make Taramosalata, but there are 2 secrets to making it perfect-good quality Tarama and the slow adding of oil in to the mix. Suitable for fasting.
Ingredients:
80 gr. Tarama (fish roe)
150 gr. Stale Bread
Juice from 1 lemon
1/4 dry Onion medium size
150 ml. Vegetable Oil (or Olive Oil)
1 tsp. Dill plus one twig for decoration
Ταραμοσαλάτα

Η Ταραμοσαλάτα είναι η περίφημη, αφράτη ροζ σαλάτα, μια πολύ νόστιμη, αλμυρή και κρεμώδης σαλάτα/ντίπ φτιαγμένη από ταραμά. Ο ταραμάς είναι το ελληνικό "χαβιάρι", το αυγοτάραχο (δηλαδή τα μικροσκοπικά αυγά) είτε του βακαλάου, κυπρίνου ή μπαρμπουνιού.
Η Ταραμοσαλάτα είναι κλασική καθ’ όλη τη διάρκεια της Σαρακοστής στην Ελλάδα και παραδοσιακή για το τραπέζι της Καθαρής Δευτέρας μαζί με Λαγάνα.
Οι Έλληνες τη λατρεύουν, γι αυτό και η Ταραμοσαλάτα τρώγεται πολλές φορές το χρόνο συνοδεύοντας Ούζο και άλλα πιάτα-μεζέδες. Έχει μια "ιδιαίτερη" γεύση, έτσι θα βρείτε ανθρώπους που είτε την αγαπούν είτε τη μισούν! Σίγουρα ανήκω στην 1η κατηγορία. Και λέω στους ανθρώπους που τη μισούν: δοκιμάστε πρώτα σπιτική Ταραμοσαλάτα, προτού αποφασίσετε.
Συμβουλή: Όταν αγοράζετε ταραμά πρέπει να βεβαιωθείτε ότι έχει μια ευχάριστη, πικάντικη, αλμυρή μυρωδιά και δεν μυρίζει ταγκίλα ή ψαρίλα.
Υπάρχουν 2 τύποι ταραμά: ροζ και άσπρος και μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε οποιοδήποτε από τους δύο για να φτιάξετε Ταραμοσαλάτα (ο άσπρος Ταραμάς είναι πάντως καλύτερης ποιότητας).
Είναι πραγματικά πολύ εύκολο να φτιάξετε Ταραμοσαλάτα, αλλά υπάρχουν 2 μυστικά για να γίνει τέλεια-καλής ποιότητας Ταραμάς και αργή προσθήκη του λαδιού στο μίγμα.
Κατάλληλη για νηστεία.
Υλικά:
80 γρ. Ταραμάς (άσπρος ή ρόζ)
150 γρ. Μπαγιάτικο ψωμί
Χυμός 1 λεμονιού
1/4 από ξερό κρεμμύδι μεσαίου μεγέθους
150 ml. Φυτικό Λάδι π.χ. Αραβοσιτέλαιο ή Ηλιέλαιο (ή Ελαιόλαδο)
1 κ.γ. Άνηθος συν ένα κλαδάκι για διακόσμηση

I went into a Jewish grocery store and they had this. I hate mayonnaise so most dips are bad for me. I checked the ingredients and I was surprised to see this dip does not have mayo. I bought it and ate with wheat crackers and I was blown away. Great dip by the Greeks. Sincerely from a Black American.

Yes, it is a dip made with fish roe and usually no mayo is added. Thanks for your kind comment 👍 😀

Very nice video! I dont know if this recipe is from a different part of Greece, as I know we all have different variations of foods in all parts of the homeland. But, I use most of the same ingredients except I use homemade purea (Mashed potato) instead of bread, and I dont use dill. I only use dill for when I make tzatziki. And, I usually use olive oil, but vegetable oil is good too. The key is definitely adding everything in slowly and not blending too much. There is nothing more tasty than baking home made Greek bread, and eating it with home made taramaosalata and tzatziki, olives, even some regga LOL, and some kefalotiri. After all the salt, I should probably check into a hospital to have all the sodium pulled out of my body lol.... Then for dessert, a nice bowl of avgolemono haha... Or maybe rizogalo..

@GreekCookingMadeEasy 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, there are regional variations of this recipe. Either with potato or bread. Of course you can use Olive oil. I just prefer another lighter vegetable oil, because I find that the fish roe taste is strong enough and doesn’t need the addition of a strong oil taste. And yes, hahaha you can eat it with many things but please don't end up in the hospital 😅!

You could call Taramosalata, Houmous of the Sea, when done properly. It almost tastes like a cheese spread.

Yes I know what you mean. However, what is really important is the main ingredient: the fish roe itself needs to be of very good quality

Yummy looking Greek meze appetizer for sure... btw, which fish roe would you RECOMMEND for this dish?????

@GreekCookingMadeEasy 2 жыл бұрын

I don't specify exactly which, because a lot of people outside Greece have difficulty finding it. Fish roe or as we call it Tarama is salted and cured fish eggs and to make Taramosalata we use Tarama either from cod or carp. Best variety and the most expensive is white tarama which is pure fish eggs, and that's the best to use for Taramosalata. Pink tarama is not the best but ok too; it is pink because they use pink food color.

@Is-me-TheReal-Shakira Жыл бұрын

@@GreekCookingMadeEasy In Romania carp tarama is redish ( the roes are themselves redish) , as well as the mixture of sweat water fishes'( but lighter), while herring's is yellowish. Some people like to feel the roes in the dip ( like moustard seeds), especially the carp and the pike ones, so they prefere to mix them by hand ( wooden spoon)

A mixer- lid with a hole on it, to poor the oil slowly, would have been helpful, especially for The begginers 😂 ( dropping too much oil at once could get the mixture separated 😅)

You are right, now I have something like that, although the mix doesn't get separated

I have had the good and bad of Taramosalata. So I was very lucky to try it when it was good. I have had it when it was bad however. It was disgusting( it was fishy). I don’t like fish. But I will say if you had Taramosalata made right. It is not fishy at all. I was reading one taramosalata recipe where they added mayonnaise 🤢 it was from a Greek Church cookbook and I know what that recipe was talking about because I had it served to me in a restaurant.

@SolonZandtheSapphires 3 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, most of the Greek Church cookbooks are filled with counterfeit recipes LOL... Maybe 10-20% of the recipes are actually good. And I never heard of such a sin as to add Mayo to Taramosalata.. That is a shame, sorry you had to be traumatized by something like that.... You need to find a good Greek friend for good recipes. I was lucky to have a gourmet Greek cook for a mom, and she had incredible recipes for everything.

Are the fish eggs cooked or raw?

@GreekCookingMadeEasy Жыл бұрын

The fish roe (eggs) used to make Taramosalata have been kept in salt for a long time before used in this recipe, i.e. they are not raw. That's why to make Taramosalata you need to add bread, and to avoid adding any salt to it.

In Romania we use semolina instead of bread. And a hand mixer.
