Categories     Pepper     Spring     Raw     Boil

Yield makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup tarama (from one 8-ounce jar)
1/2 russet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place roe in a bowl and cover with cold water; soak 10 minutes. Drain in a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth. Rinse; drain again. Gather cheesecloth around roe, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  • Meanwhile, cover potato in a saucepan with 2 inches cold water and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and let cool.
  • Puree roe, potato, and lemon juice in a food processor. With machine running, add oil and process until smooth. Season with pepper.
  • CRUDITÉS
  • The dips here are accompanied by spring produce, but nearly any vegetable can be used in a platter of crudités. Serve tender vegetables, such as celery, snap peas, and baby carrots, raw; broccoli, green beans, and cauliflower are better (and lose little nutritional value) when blanched for 2 to 3 minutes in boiling water and then shocked in an ice-water bath.
