Czech Tartar Sauce recipe/ Tatarska omacka po cesku

Tatarska Omacka google image An American Tartar sauce tastes nothing like the Czech one. I don’t know why but it just tastes completely weird to me. I know that many of us are going through the Czech Tartar sauce withdrawals so I did some research and picked the 2 most authentic recipes. The first one is the easier way out where one does not need to use raw eggs – you just start adding stuff to the already made mayonnaise.  The second recipe is for the hard-core food lovers who don’t mind having couple of raw eggs in their dish. Although one risks to get a salmonella poisoning it may just be worth it :0)

PS: Tartar sauce can be used on just about anything but it is a must when eating fish or the Czech-style  fried cauliflower. [click to continue…]

Another classic Czech recipe: dill Gravy / Koprova omacka

new_potatoes_in_dill_cream.jpg Dill is not a common ingredient in the American kitchen. The Czechs however love to cook with it. And it smells sooo good!!! Dill Gravy is probably the most famous dill recipe from the “Czech pot”. So enjoy!!!

PS: the recipe comes from an old Czech cookbook so bear with my awkward translation at times…
