Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 pickled cucumbers
- 1 cup pickled mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons chopped chives
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- freshly ground black pepper
- salt if necessary
Tartar Sauce Preparation
Finely chop the cucumbers and mushrooms. Place them in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients: mayonnaise, mustard, chives, lemon juice, and mix well.
Season the tartar sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld. It tastes best when chilled.
Which mushrooms to choose for Tartar Sauce
The best are marinated mushrooms without slime, such as button mushrooms (white mushrooms) and oyster mushrooms. Mushrooms like porcini and slippery jacks are not suitable for it.
Which cucumbers should I choose?
In Poland there is a straightforward division into fermented pickles – ogórki kiszone and vinegar pickled cucumbers – korniszony. In this case you need cucumbers pickled in vinegar. If you happen to have ogórki kiszone you can make Ogórkowa Soup, authentic, very Polish soup, loved by many in Poland.
What can I substitute pickled cucumbers with?
Instead of pickled cucumbers, you can use capers as a replacement.
Can I make vegan Tartar Sauce?
Sure you can! All you need is plant based mayo instead of classic one.
Is Tartar Sauce compatible with the keto diet?
Yes! If you are on a keto diet, you can eat this condiment without problem.
Smacznego!
