To make the tartar sauce, finely mince 1 clove
of garlic and add it to a mortar, then add 1 tablespoon
of capers and using a pestle mash down on the garlic and capers until you form a paste,
next add 1/2
cup of Greek yogurt, 1/2 tablespoon
of dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon
of white
wine vinegar, season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, and mix everything until it's well mixed, then cover the mortar with seran wrap and add it to the fridge
After the kids grabbed their cookies and went back to playing or watching a Christmas movie, the adults would linger around the table, maybe with another glass
of wine, or perhaps a
cup of coffee or tea, nibbling on a cookie here or a cookie there, chit chatting until we were ready to all go our separate ways for the evening, just to meet up the
next day and feast again.
