Grate a small red onion and add it to a food processor.

Add the juice of 2 lemons to the food processor with the grated onion and blend lightly.

Add the smoked cod roe to the food processor and whisk for about 30 seconds.

Squeeze out all excess water from the soaked bread and add it to the food processor.

Blend the mixture for about 1 minute until well combined.

Gradually add 300 ml of extra virgin olive oil to the food processor while blending.

Blend for another 30 seconds until the mixture reaches a good consistency.

Transfer the taramasalata to a container for storage, which will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.

Prepare a serving platter with pitta bread, and garnish the taramasalata with dill and lemon zest.

Cut the pitta bread into strips for dipping and arrange them on the platter with radishes.
