Spice up your grill with a zesty twist on tartar sauce
It would be a shame not to serve the right sauce with your favourite grilled meat delicacies. While ketchup and mustard are classic essentials, you can surprise your family, guests, and even yourself with a spicy version of tartar sauce. The preparation is simple.
Tartar sauce is primarily associated with eggs, but it truly pairs well with many other dishes. Especially with meat, it can tantalize your taste buds. The spicy version of tartar sauce will enhance the flavour of any grilled specialty. Be sure to stock up on cayenne pepper and pickled peppers before making the recipe.
Tartar sauce - what's the secret?
Spicy tartar sauce has its roots in the 18th century when its recipes appeared in cookbooks published in cities like London and Paris. This sauce perfectly accentuates the flavour of grilled dishes. A classic tartar sauce cannot be without pickled mushrooms and pickles. These ingredients give it a distinctive, bold flavour.
This sauce pairs well with eggs, cold meats, and fish, and it is also a great addition to sandwiches and salads. In the spicy version, the ingredients undergo a slight modification, giving the sauce a new, even more intriguing flavour.
