Ingredients for Romanian Fish Roe Dip-salata de icre

1, ½ tbsp carp fish egg

1 finely chopped onion

200 ml sunflower oil

1 small lemon

5-6 tbsp semolina flour

a bit of sparkling mineral water

Preparation for Romanian Fish Roe Dip-salata de icre

First make a small polenta from water and semolina flower. Let it cool down.

In a food processor or in a bowl add the carp fish eggs, add one or two spoons of already cooled down polenta sprinkle some lemon juice over it and start mixing pouring oil little by little. Keep stirring and pouring oil and when the content becomes too thick lemon juice and few drops of sparkling water. Keep doing it till you have the desired quantity. Taste it from time to time and if your carp fish eggs where stored in salt do not add any more salt. The result should be a thick dip spread. Now add the chopped onion and mix it in with a spatula. Put the dip in a bowl with a lid on and let it in the fridge for few hours before serving it. Taste better the 2nd day.

Notes:

Use fresh ingredients only, salt stored fish eggs are good for 1 year if kept in a dark cool place

Don’t use olive oil may turn the salad taste bitter and greenish dipends on the brand. Adding too much oil will result in an lighter taste too less in a stronger taste.

Store it into the refrigerator covered or your fridge will smell funny .
