Taramosalata

Taramosalata (often misspelled 'taramasalata') is a Greek meze. It is made from tarama, the salted and cured roe of the carp (although cheaper cod roe is often used instead). It is usually a bright pink colour, although this is due to food colouring, and a more authentic version is orange. The roe is mixed with lemon juice, bread crumbs, onions, garlic, and olive oil. It is usually eaten as a dip, with pita bread or raw vegetables.
