ingredients
directions
1. Combine the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt, sugar, and egg yolks in a food processor. Turn the food processor on and begin to add the olive oil, a few drops at a time, until the mayonnaise emulsifies and thickens. Stop the motor and transfer the mayonnaise to a small bowl. |
2. Add the capers, relish, dill, and onion, stirring to blend. Chill the tartar sauce, covered, for at least 1 hour before serving. |
Notes
 If you are concerned about making a raw-egg mayonnaise, begin the recipe with 1 cup good-quality commercial mayonnaise. Stir in the 2 teaspoons lemon juice and the 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and then proceed with step 2. |
 DO NOT use extra-virgin olive oil, as called for in the recipe; the pepper bite is awful. In the end this seemed way too fiddly; just throw some relish and chopped sweet pickles into some mayonnaise and call it a day. |
