Directions

  1. The caviar has been thoroughly rinsed. ≈ 3 min
  2. If it is too salty, it can be soaked in water for a few minutes. ≈ 3 min
  3. It is then placed in a deep container. ≈ 3 min
  4. We then add the chopped onion and the bread, which has been soaked in milk and drained. ≈ 3 min
  5. Using a blender (or a food processor with a blade), everything is thoroughly mixed, and then the oil paint is added gradually. ≈ 3 min
  6. Once the caviar thickens, milk is gradually added, followed by oil paint, until the total amount is used up.
  7. If the caviar seems too liquid, don’t worry, as adding the lemon juice will create the ideal consistency. ≈ 3 min
  8. If you don’t like the taste of onion, you can replace it with water. ≈ 3 min
  9. However, the taste will be different in this case. ≈ 3 min
  10. If you prefer a coarser texture, you can mix it by hand (which is time-consuming and tiring), or add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs at the end of the mixing process. ≈ 4 min
  11. In this case, you can also omit the bread. ≈ 3 min
  12. Caviar prepared in this way can be stored in the refrigerator (at 1-5 °C) for up to 5 days.
  13. Consume it in moderation as an appetizer or as a side dish (especially on a slice of bread or a cracker with white wine or vodka), as this product is high in calories. ≈ 3 min
  14. Enjoy your meal! ≈ 3 min
