Low carb, keto friendly taramosalata (Greek fish roe cream salad) gluten free, without bread, without potatoes, and also diabetic friendly!
Keto / low carb
Taramosalata (fish roe cream salad) without bread and potatoes can be delicious and fluffy.
Without the unnecessary carbs you can enjoy a healthy version of this traditional side dish which is never missing from the "Kathara Deftera" and "Sarakosti" table in Greece.
White tarama (fish roe) is considered better quality but there is always the possibility to be very salty.
I mention in the notes below what to do in this case.
Keto Taramosalata
Portions: 22 (25 g each)
• Ingredients:
120 g / Tarama (fish roe)
1 / Lemon (the juice) or more
200 ml / Avocado oil *
200 ml / Olive oil
• Optional
2 Tbsp / Chopped parsley
1-2 Tbsp / Fine chopped onion
70 g / Almond flour
• Instructions:
1 Beat the tarama (fish roe) with the lemon juice in a food processor or in a blender for 2 minutes.
2 Add the avocado oil and the olive oil, slowly (with very low flow), beating constantly like making mayonnaise.
3 When you have poured all the oil amount and the mixture is set, add the chopped onion, parsley and almond flour (this step is optional).
4 Place the taramosalata in a container with a lid and store in the refrigerator for about 15 days.
• Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
Avocado oil can be replaced with olive oil.
You can also beat the mixture with a hand blender.
Taramosalata may come out a bit salty. In this case add extra oil or lemon juice.
You can also add the 70 g of almond flour (grated almonds) to balance the taste.
