Recipe(tried): Annie's Extra Special Tartar Sauce

I was born and raised in Seattle, so I know what you mean about how wonderful Ivar's tartar sauce is. I was raised on tartar sauce and even though I know live here in the Houston, TX, area, I still ask for it for my fries instead of ketchup.

Anyways, I don't know if you ever received Ivar's Tartar sauce recipe, but I thought I'd share a recipe from the Frugal Gourmet's Jeff Smith. I have changed it just a bit, but my husband and I love it with our fish:

1 tsp Colman's dry mustard (we use regular hot dog mustard)
2 tsp cold water (only if using the dry mustard is this needed)
1/2 C Best Food's/Helmann's mayonnaise
3 Tbls sour cream
2 Tbls chopped parsley
1 small clove garlic; peeled and crushed (I use at least 1 Tbls of fresh, minced garlic)
2 Tbls chopped, fresh dill (from a jar works just as well.)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Fresh ground pepper to taste.

If using the dry mustard, mix it and the water together, then add the rest of the ingredients and stir until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour before using.

Its a great recipe for fish, but works well with veggies, too.
