About

May sound a little strange to serve tartare sauce with meat, but the piquancy of the sauce works beautifully with the fatty richness of meat. This mayonnaise develops as it is left in the fridge. It will keep quite happily for a few days.

Ingredients

Mayonnaise

3 medium egg yolks
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
1 tsp Dijon mustard</

Method

Mayonnaise, in my opinion, must be made by hand, or it will always look shop-bought.

Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl. Mix in the crushed garlic, Dijon mustard with a pinch of salt and pepper, then very slowly glug the oil in. Watch out that the eggs take all the oil on and do not separate. If at any stage the eggs look greasy, then stop, add a squeeze of lemon juice, then continue. Whisk
