TARTAR SAUCE



Tartar Sauce image

I haven't purchased tartar sauce in many years. We do not like any hint of sweetness, preferring the combination of dill pickle, lemon, onion and Worcestershire to flavor the sauce. This will keep a long time in the refrigerator. Note to World Tour participants - this recipe is included in the British category. Similar sauce recipes (making the mayonnaise from scratch, of course) go back to Medieval times, and have been found in British books as early as 1685. It's also wonderful served with fish and chips, if you aren't very fond of malt vinegar.

2 tablespoons minced sweet onion
1 ½ teaspoons minced capers
1 ½ teaspoons prepared horseradish
½ teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon chili-lime powder
⅛ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
3 dashes Louisiana-style hot sauce

Tips:

  • Use high-quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of the tartar sauce, so it's important to use a good-quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will give the tartar sauce a bright, tangy flavor. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Use freshly chopped herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, and chives, will add a lot of flavor to the tartar sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Taste the tartar sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, or herbs.

Conclusion:

This Old Bay tartar sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make condiment that is perfect for seafood, chicken, or vegetables. It's also a great dipping sauce for fries or chips. With only three ingredients, this tartar sauce is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
