Ahinosalata (Sea Urchin Roe Meze) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons finest quality extra virgin olive oil
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (only!)
    crusty bread, for dunking
    sea urchin roe, from five female sea urchins
Preparation
    In a little bowl, empty the sea urchin roe and juices and 'dress' with the evoo and lemon juice. (how you go about cracking the sea urchin is your own darned problem! ;-)).
    Enjoy with little husks of the best bread you can find.
    I like to dip the bread into the roe and juices to sop up some liquid, then top off with a little of the roe. Enjoy with sips of a very dry, cold white wine.
    Ideally, this should be accompanied by a Greek sunset and music by Nikos Xylouris. Oh, and sand between your toes is a MUST!
