Taramosalata

This is too good to be believed - you'll just have to make it! Do try to find the white tarama - it is so much better than the pink. In Greece, this is eaten as a meze, with pita crisps or crusty bread. It makes a fantastic dip too.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Yields: 2 1/2 cups

Ingredients

• 4  slices  sourdough bread, crusts removed (3/4 inch slices)

• 1  small onion, finely chopped (very small)
• 1  garlic clove, mashed
• 3⁄4 cup olive oil (or a combo of 1/2 olive oil, 1/2 salad oil to give a less pronounced olive-oil flavour)

Directions

1. Soak the bread in water for 5 minutes and squeeze dry between hands.
2. Put in food processor along with tarama, onion and garlic.
