My Sister'S Famous (Well We Love It) Tartar Sauce
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup first sprout dill fronds and stems, fine dice
- 1/2 yellow onion, fine dice; don't use red onion because it will turn the sauce pink and people will find that, and you, strange
- OR
- 1/2 cup spring ramps, sliced 1/4" thick on the diagonal, some of the tender greens included
- Zest of 1 lemon, microplaned
- Juice of one lemon, strained
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Into a stainless steel or glass or pottery mixing bowl, measure mayonnaise, minced dill fronds and tender early stems, and onion or ramps. Use a fine microplane to zest the lemon right into the bowl. Place a fine mesh strainer over a measuring cup or small bowl and ream the lemon to strain out seeds and pulp. Press the pulp with the back of a spoon to extract more juice. Pour into the rest of the sauce.
- Whisk all ingredients together. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve with your favorite grilled fish, fish sandwiches, or fish/crab/shrimp cakes in or out of a sandwich. Also great on fish tacos, and please don't tell me that's heresy.
