Salting Caviar at Home

Description

This appetizer is quick and simple to prepare. 1. This recipe works very well for pike roe. Wash the pike thoroughly and carefully remove the roe. Then rinse the roe and clean off any remaining membrane. 2. Add salt to the roe and mix well. Try not to damage the roe—just mix the salt in as thoroughly as possible. Leave it like this for 20 minutes so the roe can absorb the salt. 3. After that, a white foam should appear. If it does, you’re on the right track—add vegetable oil. Mix the roe with the vegetable oil, transfer it to a jar, and pour the remaining oil on top. 4. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate the roe. It should sit there for at least 5 days. Once that time has passed, the roe is fully ready—enjoy. Serve warm or chilled.
