Tartare Sauce

0:15

Serves 4

Ingredients
Mayonnaise (approx 150) Capers (approx 4 tbsp) Gherkins (approx 3 tbsp) Lemon juice Salt & pepper White vinegar (optional)

Method

Chop capers finely Chop gherkins coarsely Mix capers and gherkins in a bowl, add a large squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt & pepper Add mayonnaise until a very coarse consistency is obtained Taste and leave to stand When ready to serve: add mayonnaise to get the consistency you require, add salt & pepper to taste add lemon juice to taste add vinegar to counteract the flavour of the mayonnaise if that’s not to your taste and the lemon juice is starting to become too strong I particularly like only enough mayo to bind the capers and gherkins whereas a traditional recipe is generally more sauce than substance.
