  • This is a super easy recipe for fresh taramasalata. Although taramosalata can be enjoyed year round, it is that traditional Greek spread / dip that is served around the holidays when people tend to be fasting. With only a few ingredients, this Greek caviar spread is a real crowd pleaser.
    Recipe: kensgreektable...
    Serve with crusty breads, pitas, veggies or as part of a relish tray.
    TIP: For optimum flavour, prepare a day in advance.

    We have tried this in Greece, and I assure you: To call this "delicious" would be the understatement of the decade. My whole family is wild about this dish. - And do it the way Ken does it; the version with potatoes is much better than the version with bread.

    I fell in love with taramasalata when I lived in Greece for a summer and looked up a recipe because I was craving it; I would never have guessed there was so much potato in it! I can't wait to try making it myself. Thank you for sharing such a straightforward method!

    True story: I’m an American who converted to Orthodoxy 20 years ago, and my first church was Greek. There was a Lenten potluck after Liturgy one Sunday, and I was surprised at seeing a big bowl of what looked like strawberry yogurt there amongst the Lenten foods. I though I’d enjoy some of that, and took a generous serving.
    Can you imagine my surprise?!?! 😆

    FINALLY an explanation for the pink colour! We can only get cod roe here in the UK, which isn't pink, so I always wondered why shop bought is coloured pink. And now I know, to mimic the colour from CARP eggs! I'm learning so much from you. Thank you! (I'm off work for a week, this is why I appear to be stalking you.)

    We make tarama with bread crumbs instead of potatoes. Also, I prefer 70% olive oil 30% vegetable oil. Lastly, I add some milk (half tea glass) so that it gets softer in taste.

    As I don't like the texture of onion even when grated or blitzed in a food processor, could I just strain it after it has been blitzed in the food processor and use the juice only?
    How long will this remain fresh for in the fridge if stored in an airtight jar?
    This might not be authentic but would adding a small amount of homemade roasted garlic purée to it be a good idea?

    Well there’s two styles I’ve had one with the mayonnaise in it. It taste really fishy which I don’t like. And then there’s the other one that’s made with onion and it taste salty which I do like. I am a little bit leery to try this recipe as I would rather buy it from the restaurant.

    @equestanton1017 4 роки тому +1

    Just be extra carefull about beating potatoes this much in a mixer or they turn to glue. Better to fold in slowly, that way you keep the creamy integrity of the potatoe. The more they are beaten the more carbo is released untill it turns into the consistancy of cooked cornstarch which is 'orrible.

      There's two variations, the potato variant is 'newer', in that it was made after potato was introduced to Greece in the 19th century.

  • @TVBASICINFO
    @TVBASICINFO 7 років тому +10

    Why are there so many variations of making taramasalata?, it's a little bit disheartening when there is no official original recipie with such a simplistic dish. Might aswell call it the 'whatever tarama'.

    • @dimz796
      @dimz796 5 років тому +2

      Probably because the dish must've been made before potatoes came to Greece, so people would make it with bread. Potatoes came to Greece in the 19th century, others would use them in the recipe while others would default to bread for whatever reason.

    • @StanislavG.
      @StanislavG. 4 роки тому +1

      I know it's an old comment, but whatever - the OG recipe is sort of like making mayonnaise, only instead of eggs, you get the emulsion from the roe proteins. Obviously you need to use the fresh stuff (get it at your local fish market, any roe is ok, but i mostly make mine with carp roe, since i get it for free from my fishmonger). So once you get your fresh roe, say 1Kg, you'll need to blanch it for a second or two in a 60-70C water, while breaking it gently with a spatula to release the fish eggs from the egg sack they come in. It'll also cause the roe to firm a bit and lighten its color. You can also salt cure it in a fridge for a day or two before using it, but you can skip this step.
      After the roe is ready, transfer it to the mixer and mix at medium-high speed.
      Add half a cup of breadcrumbs soaked in vinegar (squeeze out the vinegar before adding them, use it in next step).
      Add a cup of lemon juice or white vinegar (or to taste, some like it really sour).
      Start gradually adding oil (olive oil for greek recipe, sunflower seed oil for romanian recipe). Watch as the mix starts to emulsify.
      After reaching a sort of mayo consistency, add a couple spoons baking soda, it'll react with the vinegar and create an airy texture.
      Taste and add salt.
      That's it, serve with finely chopped red onion.
      Optionally you can add some beet juice at the beginning or the process to make it pink.

    For those that care use extra virgin olive oil and serve it immediately...add day old Greek bread to the potatoes equal amounts and mix until the texture is smooth...lose the jalapeno and garnish with lemon slices assorted types of Greek olives and pickled beets...
