Homemade Tartar Sauce
Report
How to make the best Tartar sauce recipe, completely homemade. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to make the perfect mayonnaise base. For an extra simple recipe using just 4 ingredients, use ready-made mayonnaise and mix in the finely chopped capers, gherkins and chives but I strongly recommend you try the complete classic French homemade version for the ultimate taste.

Ingredients
Basic Mayonnaise
- 2 fresh egg yolks, raw or cooked* organic/free range (at room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon salt (fleur de sel) (or Maldon flakes, Celtic sea salt)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 200 ml (7fl oz/ ¾ cup) olive oil or sunflower oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Tartare Sauce Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon pickled capers finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon pickled gherkins finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon shallot, chives or spring onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley ( or mix with dill, tarragon or chervil)
Instructions
Basic Mayonnaise
- Whisk the egg yolks (raw or cooked - see NOTES below), salt and mustard with a hand whisk in a medium bowl. Gradually add the olive oil, dribbling it finely, slowly and regularly, whisking constantly. Once the mixture creates an emulsion and starts to thicken, add the white wine vinegar.
Tartare sauce garniture
- Stir in all of the remaining ingredients until well incorporated and season with more salt if necessary and freshly milled pepper.Chill until ready to use.
Notes
- Tartar Sauce Tip: Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature to make the perfect sauce.
- *Yolks: traditionally French sauce Tartare is made using either raw egg yolks or cooked yolks (or a mixture of both). If you prefer yours cooked, hard boil the eggs for 10 minutes until still creamy soft. Any longer and they will go grey and chalky.
- Storage: this homemade sauce can keep well for at least 5 days sealed in an airtight jar in the fridge. So it’s handy to make this in advance.
