Total time:

Serves:
 4 - 6

Ingredients

  • 40g sliced white bread
  • 200g smoked cod's roe
  • 200ml olive oil
  • 2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 50ml warm water

Method

  1. Cut the crusts from the bread and soak the slices briefly in water, then squeeze until almost dry. Skin the roe and break into chunks. Put the bread and roe in a bowl and use a hand-held mixer or wooden spoon to amalgamate them, adding the oil gradually as you go.
  2. Start slowly, building up speed little by little. When most of the oil is added, add the lemon juice, then the water, little by little to create a smooth, creamy mix. If it's stiff, add more water.
