Ingredients

  • 3 or 4 slices good white bread, preferably stale
  • 2 or 3 garlic cloves, to taste, peeled

  • Juice of 2 lemons, or to taste
  • About 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, if necessary

Instructions

  1. Soak the bread in water to cover while you prepare the other ingredients. When it’s soft, squeeze the water from it and put it in a food processor with the garlic, tarama, and a couple tablespoons of lemon juice.
  2. Turn the machine on and add olive oil in a steady stream until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and add more lemon juice, oil, or garlic if you like; you may also add a little salt and pepper. Serve immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate for up to a couple of days before serving.
