- How to prepare a homemade classic tartar sauce with pickles and mayonnaise? Gather all the necessary ingredients. The foundation of this sauce is mayonnaise, and it's best to use high-quality mayonnaise. Homemade mayonnaise is ideal, but you can also use store-bought mayonnaise. While using a high-quality mayonnaise is key, you can replace it with sour cream if desired, but it will alter the sauce's flavor. You can use either salted cucumbers for a classic taste or pickled cucumbers for a spicier version.
- Squeeze lemon juice into the mayonnaise. To maximize the juice extraction, rinse the lemon with very hot water before squeezing. Use a small sieve to catch any lemon seeds to prevent them from getting into the sauce. If you prefer a quicker and easier method, you can use store-bought lemon juice.
- Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut them into very small cubes. Alternatively, you can grate them using a coarse grater, but be sure to squeeze out excess liquid if you choose this method.
- Add the diced cucumbers, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the mayonnaise. Spicy Russian mustard is recommended for the best flavor.
- Season the sauce with a pinch of salt according to your taste. Keep in mind that mayonnaise and cucumbers already contain salt, so you may not need to add any additional salt.
- Add ground pepper to the sauce. Any variety of ground pepper works, and you can even use a mixture of peppers if you prefer.
- Thoroughly wash, dry, and finely chop the fresh herbs. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried powdered herbs such as tarragon, onion, and parsley as an alternative.
- Incorporate the chopped herbs into the sauce. Feel free to customize the sauce by adding your favorite herbs like coriander, dill, basil, and even a crushed garlic clove if desired.
- The resulting sauce will be thick and flavorful. It pairs wonderfully with potatoes and various vegetables or can be used as a spread on bread. Enjoy your meal!
It's advisable to make mayonnaise from scratch as it will be more flavorful and healthier.
As a dressing, you have the option to use not only mayonnaise but also sour cream or natural yogurt. These can be used separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to suit your taste, which can help reduce the dish's calorie content.
When using store-bought spice mixes, always check the ingredients listed on the package. These mixes often contain salt, so be mindful of this to avoid oversalting your dish.
Since everyone's sensitivity to taste elements like saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, acidity, and heat varies, it's essential to season your dish with spices, herbs, and seasonings according to your preferences. If you're trying a new spice for the first time, remember that some spices, like chili pepper, can be particularly potent, so use them sparingly.
