Traditional tartar sauce with eggs: A festive delight

Tartar sauce with eggs is an indispensable element of the party table.

Eggs in tartar sauce are essential to any table, evoking the magical atmosphere of family celebrations. This recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, combining tradition with exceptional flavor. Our great-grandmothers masterfully prepared this sauce for eggs.

Old tartar sauce stands out with its creamy consistency and distinctive flavor with a delicate forest note. This is due to the addition of pickled wild mushrooms such as bay boletes, porcini, and slippery jacks. These mushrooms give the sauce a unique aroma and enrich it with valuable nutrients.

• 1 tablespoon of chopped dill
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• fresh cucumber, radish, and chives for decoration

Preparation:

1. Chop pickled mushrooms and pickles into tiny cubes.
