ITALIAN TARTARE SAUCE

YOU WILL NEED:

• 2 egg yolks

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon white vinegar

• 1 cup oil

• 1½ tablespoons lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon water ( only required if using blender or food processor )

• 2 shallots

• 1 gherkin

• 2 teaspoons capers

• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

ITALIAN TARTARE SAUCE RECIPE:

Place egg yolks, salt, and vinegar in a processor or blender. Using a metal blade and with the processor switched on, add oil in a thin gradual stream through the feed tube. ( If using a blender, add a few drops of oil, replace the lid, and blend for a few seconds; repeat until all oil has been added. ) When all oil has been added, add lemon juice and water; the lemon juice will whiten the mayonnaise.

If making mayonnaise by hand, pour hot water into a basin, pour water out, and dry the bowl thoroughly. The warm bowl will make the mayonnaise beat up quickly. Place egg yolks, salt, and vinegar in a bowl. Beating vigorously with a wire whisk, add oil gradually, beating well all the time.

When all oil has been added, add lemon juice. It is not necessary to add water as, when made by hand, the mayonnaise is of a slightly thinner consistency than when made in a blender or processor.

Finely chop shallots, capers, and gherkin. Add to mayonnaise, with parsley; stir until combined.
