👨🍳 Method

1
Juice the lemon and set aside.

2
Remove the crusts from the white bread and tear the bread into small pieces.
-
3
Pour the warm water over the bread pieces and let soak for 10 minutes until softened.
-
4
Place the soaked bread in a blender and blend briefly until combined.
-
5
Add the tarama (smoked cod roe) and continue blending until a paste forms.
-
6
Run the blender on low speed and add the lemon juice, stirring to combine.

Note: The original recipe references olive oil at step 6, but the ingredients list does not include it. If a smoother, more emulsified consistency is desired, add 1–2 tbsp olive oil in a thin stream while the blender is running on low speed.

If the paste becomes too thick, add a little more warm water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach a creamy consistency.
-
9
Season to taste with pepper and salt.

Transfer to a serving bowl, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
