3 to 4 slices white peasant bread, such as French or Italian, crust removed and bread torn into small pieces
Put the bread in a food processor, sprinkle with the water, and process with a few strokes.
Add the tarama and process with 2 or 3 strokes, until just combined. Add the lemon juice, onion, garlic, and cayenne and process until fairly smooth.
With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil through the feed tube and process until thick and creamy. If it's too liquid in consistency, add another slice of torn bread and process until consistency is better. If too thick, add a tablespoon or two of cold water. Spoon into a bowl and chill for at least 15 minutes or longer if more convenient. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.
