TARTAR SAUCE

Blanch the carrot and cauliflower by leaving them in boiling water for a minute. Cool in a bowl with ice.

Drain the cauliflower and carrots and mix with the herb mayonnaise. Add the cucumber.

Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Serve. Pairs well with fish in general and seafood.

CHEF TIPS

• The eggs must be at room temperature for the oil to emulsify and for the mayonnaise not to become runny.
• Store it in the fridge in a closed pot and consume within three days.
• To enhance the flavor, add a drop of lemon to the mayonnaise just before serving.
• Adding garlic and herbs to the same mayonnaise is also delicious.
• Don’t like the strong taste of garlic? Instead of using it raw, try it roasted.
