New Tarter Sauce recipe

While cooking my catch today, I noticed that I did not have any tarter sauce to go with my dinner so I made this one up. I thought it turned out great but you may want to vary the mount of the mustard because it can be pretty overpowering. This is great for dipping fish and chips into.

1/2 cup mayo
1 Tablespoon of Sierra Nevada pale ale and honey spice mustard
10-15 capers - Lightly smashed
a squirt or two of lemon juice

Mix and enjoy!

 

Right On! Next time might have to give it a try.  I know that some of the best sauces I've eaten are ones created on the fly because of not having the store bought ones.

  That's a pretty good load of mustard for a tartar sauce, although you've got the basics covered. I prefer about half that much mustard, many more capers, a few drops of Tabasco, some white pepper, and a tiny bit of turmeric. If the taste is lacking, it can be adjusted with finely chopped cornichons or even dill pickle (very small amount), or a few drops of the brine from sweet pickles or sweet pickle relish - depending on how commercial you want the taste. Make it with Miracle Whip instead of mayo and you'll have a touch of the sweet relish taste of most commercial tartar sauces.

Your version sounds good as well. I will have to give that a shot.
