Fish Meat Sauces & condiments

Tartar Sauce

This tartar sauce pairs perfectly with fish, cold meats like roast beef or grilled meats, or delicious fish burgers. The secret to success, as with mayonnaise or rouille sauce, is having all ingredients at the same temperature.

    Serves 4 (one large bowl)

    • 2 egg yolks (extra-fresh)
    • 1 level tablespoon mustard
    • 200ml (¾ cup) neutral oil
    • 100ml (⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon) olive oil
    • 1 shallot, minced

    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
    • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
    • a drizzle of lemon juice (or sherry vinegar)
    • Salt, pepper
    1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine two egg yolks, mustard, and salt. Start whisking, then add the oil in a thin stream, allowing time for each addition to incorporate fully.

    2. Once thickened to desired consistency, transfer to a serving bowl and add the remaining ingredients (pepper, shallot, pickles, capers, garlic, chives, parsley, and lemon juice). Refrigerate until ready to serve.
