Tartare

Tartare recipes have been around for centuries, with the earliest known reference dating back to the 13th century. The dish is thought to have originated in Tartarus, the ancient Greek underworld. The name "tartare" is derived from the French word for "raw," and the dish is traditionally made with raw beef or fish.

Tartare recipes began to gain popularity in the 18th century, when they were often served as an hors d'oeuvre. The most famous tartare recipe is beef tartare, which is made with ground beef, onions, capers, and seasonings. Fish tartare is also popular, and can be made with any type of fresh fish.

Tartare recipes are typically served with a variety of condiments, such as Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and ketchup. They can also be served with crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Advice

When making tartare, it is important to source the freshest, high-quality ingredients available. Fresh fish should be the star of the show, so make sure to buy it from a reputable source and keep it properly refrigerated. When chopping the fish, make sure to do it as finely as possible for the best texture. Additionally, it is essential to season your tartare with the appropriate balance of acid, salt, and other accents such as herbs, capers, and onions. Finally, mix all of the ingredients together gently with a spoon or spatula to ensure the texture remains cohesive.
