Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Have ready a stand mixer fitted with a grinding attachment. (You may use a ricer or grater, but the results will not be the same). Coat your mixing bowl with a small amount of corn oil. Pass the onion, potatoes and almonds through the grinder and into the bowl. Fold in the tarama.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the meat grinder and fit the mixer with the paddle (or use a wooden spoon). With the mixer on medium, add the lemon juice and then the remaining corn oil in a slow and steady stream. Slowly add the olive oil, mixing constantly. Add the seltzer a few tablespoons at a time. It should have the consistency of a light and airy mousse. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
