Tartar Sauce

Fish and chips is a British favourite, and perfectly complemented by tartar sauce. The flavour and acidity of capers, gherkins and onions work so well with the crisp batter and succulent fish, and create a lovely dip for home-made chips. The sauce can also be used a sharp dip for crudités.

However, the sauce is not British, but a French classic. In France, it is traditionally made by pounding hard-boiled egg yolks to a fine paste before adding olive oil to make a mayonnaise consiste
