The base of the sauce is sour cream, but you can use natural unsweetened yogurt instead. This will only make the sauce better. So, for cooking you will need:
Wash the pickled cucumbers, dry them, cut off the butts. Grate the cucumbers on a fine grater. Pass the garlic through a garlic press. Place garlic and cucumbers in sour cream, mix these ingredients.
Wash the sweet pepper, remove the tail and seeds. Cut it as finely as possible. Chop the greens. Instead of parsley and dill, you can use any other greens, such as cilantro. Place the herbs and chopped peppers into the preparation. Add ground black pepper and salt to taste. Be sure to chill the sauce before serving.
Fasting people and vegetarians can prepare their own version of the sauce with pickles. His recipe contains an abundance of spices, so the taste will not be bland. List of ingredients:
In a bowl, mix lean mayonnaise and finely grated pickles. Add chopped capers, prepared shallots and green onions here. Add fresh lemon juice and Dijon mustard to the mixture.
Now you need to bring the sauce to taste. To do this, gradually add salt, ground black pepper and Tabasco sauce. Be extremely careful with the last ingredient, as this sauce is very spicy and has a specific taste in concentrated form. When ready, place the sauce in the refrigerator to cool before serving.

Tartar sauce. Its purpose is to embellish and add more flavor to fish and seafood. But this is not its only purpose; with its help, you can add something new to meat dishes. He is also able to embellish many salads. Very often it is added to cooked dishes. This is a way to add a touch of flavor to tasteless, bland food.
Tartar sauce does not have one single recipe; each chef prepares it for himself and for each dish separately. Somewhere adding more greens, somewhere more lemon or cucumbers.
Although this sauce does not have a single recipe, it has a homeland, as we know, France, which is famous for its famous sauces throughout the world. There is another sauce that is similar to tartar sauce; this sauce is better known to you as mayonnaise. Yes, yes, mayonnaise is also a sauce and its basic configuration is similar to tartar; you can see this by reading about it.
Boiled yolks, pickled mushrooms and cucumbers, and lemon juice are often used to prepare the sauce. And there are recipes that call for raw yolks. There are as many chefs, as many tastes and as many recipes.
Pickled or salted vegetables should be well chopped as the sauce should have a viscous structure and the vegetables should simply complement each other, but not stand out in any way in the tartar sauce.
There is one rule in cooking: all ingredients must be cut with a knife and do not use auxiliary equipment in the form of a blender or food processor. Because these helpers will grind the ingredients to such an extent that the taste of the sauce may suffer. Anyway, enough words, let's get down to business and make this delicious tartar sauce.
INGREDIENTS:
COOKING PROCESS:
Let's start preparing the tartar sauce by preparing the yolks. They need to be crushed as finely as possible to a dough. There are several ways. Grate or pass through a fine sieve then work well with a fork.
Add mustard and vegetable oil to the crushed yolk. Then, using a mixer or whisk, beat the ingredients until smooth.
When the yolks are well mixed with butter and mustard, add lemon juice, salt, allspice and mix everything again.
Slice the cucumbers. I don’t recommend grating it because after grating the pieces turn out to be too large, so you’ll have to work with a knife. You need to cut the cucumbers as finely as possible. Finely chop the greens and add them to the rest of the ingredients with the cucumbers. Stir until smooth.
At this stage, we can say that your tartar sauce is ready; all you have to do is take a sample and, if necessary, add the missing ingredients. Since there is no standard taste for the sauce, you can make it a little sour by adding more lemon or a little saltier by adding cucumbers. So in this sauce the flight of your imagination is not limited.
Try cooking and come up with your own signature sauce formula.
This recipe is so simple that it is impossible not to prepare it. The most simplified preparation formula. This recipe already contains a ready-made sauce called mayonnaise, and we will simply supplement it a little with the missing ingredients and turn it into a wonderful tartar sauce. Although this is not an entirely correct way of cooking, it exists and is often used by many cooks and housewives in order to save time and money.
INGREDIENTS:
COOKING PROCESS:
Mix mayonnaise with sour cream and use a spoon or whisk to mix well so that the products combine well into a single whole. I think that at this stage you will not have any problems.
Finely chop the cucumbers, remember, in this case there should be no grater, just a knife and only your hands. Pass the garlic through a garlic press. Finely chop the greens. Add some allspice for flavor. Add all ingredients to mayonnaise with sour cream and mix until smooth.
The wonderful tartar sauce is completely ready. We taste it with salt and pepper and serve it in a beautiful gravy boat. Here is a small and quick recipe for making sauce. This recipe does not contain mustard, lemon juice, or eggs. Since these products are already in mayonnaise.
Prepare tartar sauce and you will definitely succeed. You can write about your achievements in the comments. I will be very pleased to read your feedback or suggestions. Peace and goodness to everyone.
Place sour cream or yogurt in a bowl and mix it with dill, pickles and garlic. Salt and pepper the mixture, then mix everything thoroughly so that all the ingredients are well dispersed and the salt is dissolved. Next it needs to be cooled. To do this we place it in the refrigerator at least for 30 minutes.
Remove the cooled sauce from the refrigerator. We fill the gravy boats with it and serve it on the table. It goes well with the taste of potatoes cooked in different ways, and it also harmonizes well with meat (especially beef) and fish. All these dishes the pickled cucumber sauce adds a bright and invigorating flavor, fills them with a special spicy aroma. Enjoy your meal! - - To prepare this sauce, it is best to use small cucumbers, since their seeds are less pronounced. If you only have these, then it is better to first cut them in half and remove the seed core so that it does not spoil the taste of the final dish. You can also use gherkins to make the sauce, but you will need at least 7-10 of them.
- - The sauce can be used as a dressing for salads, especially those containing boiled beef. This filler will greatly saturate the taste of slightly dry and bland meat.
I don't stick to specific meats, I cook with whatever I have on hand, so it could be beef, but the tastes will be different.
We are preparing food. If the meat was frozen, then I do not achieve complete softness, as it will be more difficult to cut. Cut into cubes 1-1.5 cm.
Chop three onions and carrots on a coarse grater
Let's start cooking.
I don’t like a lot of fat in gravy, so I often take meat without it, and fry any fat I get first with onions; there’s not enough fat, so I add vegetable oil. The fire is maximum.
Place the chopped meat in the slightly golden onion. Cover with a lid and stir occasionally. There will be a lot of water, so simmer until half cooked, this may take 20-30 minutes, in general, when the water becomes low, add carrots. Mix.
Be careful with the salt as there are already pickles in the gravy.
The meat in the finished dish should be soft, the cucumbers and onions should not crunch. Season with fresh or dried herbs.
Since I don’t like cereals, I consider the dish with mashed potatoes to be the most delicious and satisfying.
