Method

1. Place the smoked roe, garlic, onion, oil, bread and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Add the milk or water and process again for a few seconds. (This will give the taramasalata a creamier texture.)

2. Pour the taramasalata into a bowl, cover with clear film (plastic wrap) and chill for 1-2 hours before serving. Sprinkle the dip with ground black pepper. Serve with warm pitta bread.
