Coriander and Lime Tartare Sauce

– New recipe

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 small clove garlic, peeled
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
6 fl oz (175 ml) light olive oil
1 dessertspoon lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh coriander leaves
1 heaped tablespoon salted capers, rinsed and patted dry
4 cornichons, drained
freshly milled black pepper

 

Begin by breaking the egg into a processor or blender, add the salt, garlic and mustard powder, then switch the motor on and, through the feeder tube, add the oil in a thin, steady trickle, pouring it as slowly as you can (it takes about 2 minutes). When the oil is in and the sauce has thickened, add some pepper and all the other ingredients. Now pulse until the ingredients are chopped – as coarsely or as finely as you want. Lastly, taste to check the seasoning, then transfer to a serving bowl.
