Tag: Sos tartarski

• Sos tartarski  is a classic cold sauce in Poland.
• Books say that this is a French sauce but they must have been influenced by Polish ingredients!
• Usually served with fish (hot or cold) or hard- boiled eggs.
• Very easy to make especially if using bought mayonnaise.
• Use the best bought mayonnaise – full fat not the reduced type. 
• I usually use Hellmann’s mayonnaise.
• Soured cream and lemon juice can also be added.
• Amounts are not fixed but you are aiming for a soft dropping sauce.

Ingredients

• 4- 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise
• 2 -3 gherkins
• 1-2 tablespoons of capers
• 1-2 tablespoons of soured cream
• ½ to 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• *
• Some chopped fresh dill to serve – if available.

Method 

• Mix the mayonnaise, soured cream and lemon juice to a soft dropping density.
• Chop the gherkins into small pieces.
• Stir the chopped gherkins and capers into the mayonnaise mixture.
• Put the sauce into a serving bowl and sprinkle the dill on top.
