Yum! Homemade tartar sauce


Recipe for some AMAZING tartar sauce: 
Tartar Sauce 
-Makes 1-1/2 cups 
1 cup mayonnaise 
1/2 cup minced pickles 
2 tablespoons minced green onion 
2 tablespoons chopped parsley 
2 tablespoons small capers 
1 tablespoon lemon juice 
1/4 teaspoon sea salt 
1/4 teaspoon pepper 
pinch of cayenne pepper 
-In a bowl, blend all ingredients well. 
-Store in refrigerator, but serve at room temperature. 
. . . . . . 
It's even more special when it's made with homemade mayo... 
Like tartar sauce, mayo is actually super easy to make; it can be made in a Quisinart or even a smoothie blender if that's all you have! When mayo is made with good ingredients (homemde or not), it is actually very good us!! Good mayo is full of valuable enzymes, especially lipase- which helps your body digest fats and oils. 
Easy Mayo Recipe: 
-Makes 1-1/2 cups 
1 whole egg, at room temperature
1 egg yolk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon Dijon-type mustard 
1-1/2 tablespoons lemon juice 
3/4-1  cup extra virgin olive oil or sunflower oil 
generous pinch of sea salt 
-Combine everything but the olive oil and blend well (about 30 seconds). 
-Then with the motor running, add the oil a few drops at a time. 
-Taste it! You may want to add a bit more salt or lemon juice. Yum! 
(Both recipes are from Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon- thank you again).

  1. Wow! That fish and tartar sauce looks sooooo good! Boyd fished while we were in the boundary waters last week but he didn't catch anything... :( He did get an excellent Northern Pike last time we went camping though. I look forward to reading more of your blog! Luv, tc
