p, blockquote 1,0,0,0,0 –>

Tartar is a cool sauce that is usually served with fish and seafood, although it is also possible to add it to meat, poultry or vegetables. Sprinkles of pickled cucumbers and fresh herbs against the background of a smooth, tender texture form a delicious dressing that can unsurpassably transform steamed cutlets and any bland dishes, turning them into a real delicacy.

There is no one recipe for tartar sauce - every cook prepares this dressing in his own way. There are options with mayonnaise, with yolks, with the addition of garlic, mustard, onions, etc. For example, we offer two recipes for tartar sauce: traditional (with egg yolks) and regular (with ready-made mayonnaise).

How to make traditional tartar sauce (with yolks)

p, blockquote 6,1,0,0,0 –>

p, blockquote 7,0,0,0,0 –>

Boil the eggs until tender (hard-boiled), peel them. In this recipe we only need boiled yolks; the whites can be set aside for making a salad or other dishes. Grind the yolk mass through a fine sieve or carefully knead with a fork until it becomes a small crumb.
Next, add mustard (if it is very spicy, reduce the dose), beat the mass. Continuing to work with the mixer, pour in the vegetable oil evenly in a narrow stream.
Pour in lemon juice, add salt/pepper and mix everything.
Cut the cucumbers into small square pieces or grate them and add them to the mustard-oil consistency. Finely chop the fresh herbs and add them to the rest of the ingredients.
Stir the tartar sauce, take a sample, adding a little more lemon juice or salt/pepper to taste as necessary. There are no serious proportions of goods here: you can add more cucumbers and just a little greenery, or vice versa - everything is selected taking into account personal taste!

Tartar sauce according to the traditional recipe is ready!

Benefits and harms of sauce

Chicken yolks are enriched with minerals and various trace elements.
Tartar improves the functioning of the nervous system and restores metabolism thanks to the vitamins it contains.
Vitamin E (a low molecular weight organic compound of relatively simple structure, essential for all living things) E, found in yolks, is considered a natural antioxidant. It increases the body's defenses, strengthens muscles, and increases stress resistance.
The yolks contain lutein, melatonin and choline, which support vision. In addition, these hormones rejuvenate the skin.
Linoleic acid helps prevent acquired pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract.
Green onions stimulate the work of the heart muscle, improve the condition of gums and teeth, strengthen nails and prevent hair loss. Thanks to it, it is useful to use the sauce in the autumn-winter period, as it has an antiviral effect.
Olive oil restores blood pressure, improves stomach and liver function.
In limited quantities, tartar improves the process of hematopoiesis, evens out the sensory background and removes toxins from the body.

It is not recommended to use tartar for people with arterial hypertension or atherosclerosis, since the yolks contain cholesterol in large quantities (an organic compound, a natural fatty, lipophilic alcohol found in the cell membranes of all living organisms, with the exception of nuclear-free ones) . It is also contraindicated for obesity, gastritis, gastric ulcers, cholecystitis, and colitis.

Tartar is allowed to be given to children over 5 years old, but only if it is made with low-fat sour cream or yogurt.

Useful tips

To add a special taste, add chopped garlic at the final manufacturing step. It goes perfectly with meat dishes.
Use only the freshest and highest quality ingredients.
If you want to simplify the recipe at home, then prepare the sauce with mayonnaise or sour cream.
To ensure that the mixture is correct and the taste is tender, add olive oil to the sauce drop by drop.
You can add salt at the final stage of production.
I recommend leaving the tartare for 20 minutes so that it infuses and becomes the most fragrant and rich.
Chopped green onions are best added to the sauce just before serving.
Store the tartare in a glass jar, covered, for no more than 3 days.
If you are looking after your own figure, cook using natural yogurt with a low fat content.
