The lime juice is a variation on lemon juice that istypically used in homemade tartar sauce recipes. Lemons are a good substitute for the lime.

You can use any kind of onion. I like red onion for the color and little bitof bite that red onions have.

Jalapenos can be fresh or use the jarred kind that you’llfind by the pickles at your grocery store.

Jarred jalapenos are a perfectly acceptable substitution forfresh in our jalapeno tartar sauce recipe.I prefer the texture of fresh jalapenos but the flavor is very similar.

Wash and dry the fresh jalapenos. Slice off the stem end and discard. Cut the jalapeno in half lengthwise. To control the heat, remove the seeds andlong membrane. Or leave the membrane inif you prefer a spicier tartar sauce.

DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYES until you have thoroughly washed yourhands with soap. You’d be surprised howmuch of the chili oil remains on your hands and fingers that you don’t evenrealize.

What To Do If You Get Jalapeno Oil In Your Eyes

I learned the hard way by touching my eye after cutting ajalapeno. It burns like crazy and I hadto just close my eyes and wait for the burn to go away.

According to the website pepperscale.com, youdon’t want to go for water. Water will makethings worse by spreading the burning around.Water will repel the oil because they don’t mix well.

Instead go for milk which will break down the capsaicin inthe hot peppers. After washing your handswith water, put a paper towel soaked in milk on your eye. Don’t rub, just let the milk seep a littleinto your eyes, it should help relieve some of the burn.

Now you can make our jalapeno tartar sauce recipe withoutworry of chili oil burn.
