Quick Tartare Sauce Recipe
I love tartare sauce. It’s so delicious. It’s named after the French term “sauce Tartare.” The tartare points to the Tatars who settled in Ukraine and parts of Russia.
Tartar sauce is a bit sweet and savory at the same time, with a spicy tart bite. It contains a lot of different flavors, so it’s a very complex taste. It’s creamy with a crunchy texture and tanginess.
By adding all these flavors, it’s great to serve with a savory deep-fried meal. Because dishes made in the deep fryer are often soft inside and crunchy on the outside. And that is a great combination with the creaminess of this Tartare Sauce.
This recipe for a tartare sauce is quick, easy, and delicious, and I’m sure you will serve this a lot (I do! ).
