Marie Rose Sauce

One of the few reasons that I have a ketchup bottle in the house is to make a marie rose sauce. Also known as seafood sauce or Thousand Island dressing, it's that sauce that you would find on the original prawn or shrimp cocktail in the 1970's

You'll see from the ingredients that there's nothing too comlicated about making this sauce so there's no excuse for not making it up yourself.

Recently we had some friends come to stay and their kids loved Thousand Island dressing so much that they even brought a bottle with them. It's ages since I'd tried some so I had a taste - I almost spat it out!

Compared to a freshly made up marie rose sauce....well, there is no comparison. One tastes fresh and punchy, the other tastes bland and processed and I hope I don't have to tell you which one is which!

Once last word on this sauce before we get to the ingredients. Don't just reserve it for fish or shrimps, try adding a shake of chili flakes and slapping it on your burger, use it as a BBQ dip. In fact it works a treat on any BBQ menu.

Ingredients:-

• Tomato ketchup
• Mayonnaise
• Lemon Juice
• Worcestershire Sauce

Method:-

Mix up equal quantities of ketchup and mayo and you’ve got the basic sauce. To further develop the flavors add a good splash of lemon juice and a shake of Worcestershire sauce, give it another stir and that’s all there is to it.

.......and if you're going to try it on your burger, trust me, a little dried chili flakes into the mix and you'll love it.
