Taramosalata - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 slices sourdough bread, crusts removed (3/4 inch slices)
    6 ounces tarama (fish roe, the white is MUCH better than the pink)
    1 small onion, finely chopped (very small)
    1 garlic clove, mashed
    3/4 cup olive oil (or a combo of 1/2 olive oil, 1/2 salad oil to give a less pronounced olive-oil flavour)
    2 lemons, juice of
Preparation
    Soak the bread in water for 5 minutes and squeeze dry between hands.
    Put in food processor along with tarama, onion and garlic.
    With processor running, drip in olive oil and lemon juice, alternately, until tarama has a light, mayonnaisey consistency and is completely emulsified.
