Description
Whipped cod’s roe has become so popular in recent years but it’s been a delicacy for much longer. Shops often sell very pink dips that have been dyed, but real cod’s roe is a delicate orange colour once whipped into a dip. Scatter with fennel pollen to give yours the edge.

- Place the white bread in a bowl and cover with milk. Let it soak in for a moment then squeeze out the liquid.
- Place the bread into a blender with the roe and garlic and blend.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil as if you were making mayonnaise, with the motor running.
