Homemade Tartar Sauce
A bit of saucy stuff like mayonnaise and sour cream paired with some pickly stuff and lemon juice makes a really great authentic tartar sauce.
Ingredients
- ¾ cups mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 shallot 2-3 tablespoons, chopped small
- 1 Tablespoon capers
- 3 Tablespoons dill pickles or cornichons (small French pickles), chopped small
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chives sliced small
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients prepared as directed in the ingredient list. Couldn't be more simple!
- Serve with fried fish, fish tacos, fish sandwiches ... any and all things fish!
Notes
The sour cream is added to counterbalance the heaviness of the mayonnaise, as does the lemon juice.
If you want a different flavor profile, use a different herb. Try chervil, tarragon, or parsley. You can also use dill, but I feel that with the addition of the pickles and capers, dill is too repetitive.
