Anyone got a recipe for Horseradish Sauce??

[la cebolla grande]

I've been keen to make the mother some Horseradish Sauce for ages, but can't find a recipe (Delia has let me down!). Anyone got any ideas??

I won't touch the stuff but the mother loves it, and the stronger the better.........

Have plenty of fresh HR on the allotment.

Thanks!!

I've never made horseradish sauce, so don't know what it'll be like. The only recipes I could find tend to use creme fraisch, cream, soured cream or yogurt, so I guess it's not going to keep well, but here goes:

2tbsp grated horseradish
150ml soured cream
pinch of caster sugar
salt
fresh ground pepper

Mix the ingredients together and serve chilled.

Richard Mabey gives this recipe:

Mix 1 tsp dry mustard with cold water and blend until smooth. Combine with 6 heaped tbsp grated horseradish and salt and pepper. Allow to stand for a quarter of an hour. Then blend into a cupful of white sauce (or double cream if you do not want it to last especially long.)
Unfortunately, he fails to suggest how long the white sauce version might last.
Hope this helps. I had (shop bought) horseradish with dinner last night - certainly cleared the sinuses!

Thanks for that. Anyone else got any other ideas. Preferably that don't involve cream?? I know the shop-bought ones last for ages!!

I've got some horseradish and rather than use a recipe of which there are many I was just going to play about with mayonaise,white wine vinegar,sugar, black pepper and a bit of mustard.

No idea of quantities , as I'll just keep tasting it and adding bits til it tastes right!

Hello Snadger! HFW says:

piece fresh horseradish root, weighing 200g ish
250g creme fraiche
1 dessertspoon strong english mustard
2 teaspoons wine vinegar

Wash and peel horseradish root and grate it finely. (If I remember in the programme he had tears streaming out of his eyes at this point!).
Mix together the creme fraiche, mustard and vinegar and then stir in the horseradish to taste. It depends how strong it is as and your own taste.
Season.

Hope this is of use. DDL
