Antonia Lofaso says this ingredient swap makes for the best tartar sauce - FoodSided

From her celebrated restaurants to her culinary expertise on food television shows, Antonia Lofaso always impresses in the kitchen. While her affable personality welcomes people to the table, that sense of familiarity makes her approach to cooking appealing to the home chef. In this latest recipe reveal, Chef Antonia takes a refrigerator staple and transforms it in the most memorable way.

In many home kitchens, the concept of multipurpose ingredients is key. While some chefs can have shelves of vinegar to be used for one specific recipe, the reality is that idea is impractical for the home cook. Versatility of ingredients is key.

From avoiding food waste to promoting culinary creativity, multipurpose ingredients can help the home cook gain confidence in the kitchen. Although it might not guarantee that this family dinner would earn top billing on Food Network, it will be a dinner that the family requests time and again.

What does Antonia Lofaso use in her best tartar sauce recipe?

Recently, Antonia Lofaso partnered with Wallaby Organic on its Wallaby Culinary Dream Contest. Through this program, the partnership is looking to assist aspiring chefs to fulfill their culinary ambitions. As part of the collaboration, Chef Antonia created a special recipe using Wallaby Organic Whole Milk Yogurt.

During a recent conversation with Chef Antonia, she shared her inspiration for this recipe. She empathically said that she “loves this recipe.” Given that this yogurt is so thick and creamy, she found that it works perfectly in a tartar sauce.

Chef Antonia said, the Wallaby Organic Whole Milk Yogurt adds a multi-dimensional layer to the tartar sauce. Instead of traditional mayonnaise, the yogurt makes the whole dish a little more “dynamic.”

From the fried shrimp to the layers of flavor, this dish will get everyone’s stamp of approval. And, Chef Antonia even admitted that there is a possibility that it might appear in one of her restaurants.

Here’s how to make Chef Antonia Lofaso’s best tartar sauce recipe.
