Peruvian Tartar Sauce (Salsa Tártara al estilo peruano)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Vegetable Oil (neutral oil such as canola or sunflower)
• 1 unit Lemon Juice (juice of one fresh lemon, about 2 tbsp)
• 2 units Eggs (2 large eggs, room temperature; one for mayo, one hard‑boiled for the sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (plus extra to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 cup Mayonnaise (homemade (see step) or store‑bought)
• 1 unit Hard‑Boiled Egg (finely chopped or grated)
• 2 tablespoons Mustard (Dijon or yellow mustard)
• 2 tablespoons Red or White Onion (finely diced, very small cubes)
• 2 tablespoons Scallions (finely diced (green and white parts))
• 1 tablespoon Parsley (fresh, finely chopped)

Instructions

1. Gather and Prepare Ingredients

   Measure out all ingredients, peel the lemon, and have the eggs ready (one for mayo, one hard‑boiled).

   Time: PT2M

2. Make Homemade Mayonnaise

   In the blender, combine 2 eggs, lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Blend on high for 1 minute. With the blender running, slowly drizzle the 1 cup of vegetable oil through the small opening in the lid, forming a thin stream. Continue until all oil is incorporated (about 2‑3 minutes). Blend another minute to finish emulsification.

   Time: PT5M

3. Hard‑Boil the Egg (if not pre‑cooked)

   Place the egg in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then turn off heat and let sit 9 minutes. Cool under cold water, peel and set aside.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 100°C

4. Finely Chop Remaining Ingredients

   Finely dice the onion, scallions, and parsley. Chop the hard‑boiled egg into very small pieces (or grate it for a smoother texture).

   Time: PT5M

5. Combine All Components

   In a mixing bowl, add the homemade mayonnaise (or store‑bought mayo). Fold in the chopped onion, scallions, parsley, egg, and mustard. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then stir until everything is evenly incorporated.

   Time: PT3M

6. Final Taste and Adjust

   Give the sauce a final taste. Add a little more lemon juice, salt, or pepper if desired, then give one last quick stir.

   Time: PT1M
