I cannot recall ever using the words *amazing* or *fabulous* in a recipe title, but I had to make an exception for this wonderful recipe from the *Dinner Party* cookbook of the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook series. This is so versatile & you are almost certain to view tartar sauce as ordinary by comparison & obsolete in most cases. Pls see notes following prep for recipe comments & a variety of serving suggestions. *Enjoy* Ingredients:
3 egg yolks |
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1 garlic clove (crushed) |
2 tablespoons capers (drained & chopped) |
6 ounces canned tuna (drained & flaked) |
2/3 cup heavy cream |
Directions:
1. Using a blender, immersion blender or food processor - blend egg yolks & lemon juice till smooth.
2. While continuing to blend, all oils gradually till the mixture is thick.
3. Add garlic, capers, tuna + cream & blend till smooth.
4. Recipe Notes: Best made a day ahead to allow flavors to develop & blend - Store covered in refrigerator - Not suitable for use in freezer or microwave - May add dill or curry powder to portions of the yield when those flavors are desired.
5. Serving Suggestions: Serve as a condiment to accompany or use as a sauce to dress tuna patties, grilled tuna steaks & baked, broiled or poached white fish fillets - Spoon desired amt atop mixed green salads as a dressing & toss to serve - Sub for reg mayo in tuna salad, shrimp salad, macaroni/pasta salads or devilled eggs - or use as your imagination dictates. :-).
