Taramasalata

Taramasalata or taramosalata (Greek:ταραμοσαλάτα, from taramas, from Turkish:tarama 'fish roe' + salata, from Italian:insalata "salad") is a Greek and Turkish meze made from tarama, the salted and cured roe of the cod, carp, or grey mullet (bottarga) mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, and a starchy base of bread or potatoes, or sometimes almonds. Variants may include garlic, spring onions, or peppers, or vinegar instead of lemon juice.
