How to Make Tartare Sauce and Mayonnaise

Today we are making homemade tartare sauce. This is a delicious complement to Fish Cakes and loved by all.

As a bonus, I'll also show you how to make your own mayonnaise.

I hope you enjoy.

• Lime juice
• About 1/8 red onion
• 1 medium pickle (we used a gurken)
• Salt and Pepper
• 10 Capers
• A few celery or parsley leaves/stems
• 1 Cup mayonnaise

You can make your own mayonnaise:

• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 tsp Mustard
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• Pinch Paprika
• 75 ml Olive Oil
• 30 ml Lemon juice
• 1 tsp red wine Vinegar
• 15 ml Hot water

Put the 2 egg yolks into a moderately sized bowl with the sugar, salt and paprika and give it a good beat with an electric mixer. Drop in the mustard and beat until thoroughly mixed.

Next add your lemon juice then mix.

Now with the beater going, very slowly add the olive oil, starting with a few drops progressing to a very small stream.

Now it is time for the water. Add it like you did with the olive oil.

For this stage you will need:

• Lime juice
• About 1/8 red onion
• 1 medium pickle (we've used a gurken)
• Salt and Pepper
• 10 Capers
• A few celery or parsley leaves/stems

Using a food processor blend up your sauce until it becomes a smooth consistency.

We have now finished a great tartare sauce.

You can experiment a little with the amount of lemon juice you use, adding more or less as you prefer.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and get great satisfaction from making your own tartare and mayonnaise.
