This is a 3-minute recipe for homemade tartar sauce, a delicious condiment that pairs exceptionally well with fried dishes. A simple recipe with minimal effort.
In a small food processor process halved pickles and onion until it looks "finely chopped". This will take a few seconds.
Transfer the mixture in a small bowl and add mayo, black pepper, chopped parsley and a juice from ¼ lemon. Mix well with a spoon. Taste and add more lemon or pepper if you like.
Refrigerate before serving.
Notes
Dill pickle relish is a great alternative.
Use either fresh dill or parsley.
Instead of a ¼ onion, you can use 1 shallot.
Use either freshly squeezed lemon juice or pickle juice. Its quantity will depend on your preference. I use ¼ lemon, taste and add more if I feel it is needed.
This recipe yields 1 cup of tartar sauce. This should serve 4 people.
This recipe can be doubled easily.
Store in a sealed jar or airtight container in the fridge. It should keep up to 4-5 days when stored properly.
