Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Soak the stale bread in water for about 5-10 minutes until soft. Squeeze out excess water and crumble the bread into small pieces.

    In a food processor, combine the fish roe, soaked bread, and lemon juice. Blend until you have a smooth mixture.

Emulsification

    Add Olive Oil

    With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is well combined and creamy.

  2. 4

    Adjust Consistency

    If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to reach the desired consistency. Blend again until smooth.

Final Touches
