Tartar sauce
Creamy homemade tartar sauce with pickles, mustard, and fresh herbs. A quick and versatile condiment that pairs perfectly with fried fish, seafood, and roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
- 150 ml mayonnaise
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 small gherkin finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
Instructions
- Finely chop the gherkin and fresh dill.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
- Add the chopped gherkin and dill.
- Mix well until the tartar sauce is smooth and evenly combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
- Stir once more before serving.
Notes
- For a sharper flavour, add finely chopped capers or a splash of white wine vinegar.
- Bit of tarragon or parsley both work well depending on your preference.
- If the sauce feels too thick, loosen it with a small squeeze of lemon juice.
- Letting the sauce chill before serving improves texture and flavour.
