Add 5 oz of white tarama to the food processor.

Add 1 fresh onion and the juice from 3 lemons to the food processor and pulse quickly.

Cut the crusts off 15 slices of bread.

Tear the bread into pieces and add it to the food processor.

While mixing, gradually add 1/3 cup of vegetable oil and 2/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil.

Add 1/4 cup of cold water gradually to help tie the ingredients together.

If the mixture is thick, add more extra virgin olive oil; if it's too runny, add more slices of bread.

Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours before serving.
