Method

Ingredients

Crush garlic and place in a bowl with the tarama. Trim the crusts from four thick slices of white bread and soak in milk for a few minutes.

Use a blender to blend the ?soaked bread with the tarama ?and garlic until smooth.

Gradually beat in olive oil, alternating with strained fresh lemon juice, a little at a time.

Whizz until pale and fluffy. If it’s too salty, beat in a little more milk.

To serve, spread on a flat plate or spoon into a bowl. Serve with pita bread for dipping, or spread on chunks of crusty Mediterranean-style bread.
