Horse radish sauce

[Rheghead]

I have a massive horse radish growing in the garden, is it easy to make some sauce?

[sassylass]

It's very easy:

HORSERADISH CREAM


1/3 cup freshly grated horseradish
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar or lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream, softly whipped


Use a microplane grater to grate the very fibrous horseradish, then mix the horseradish with the vinegar to keep the flavor from dissipating. Add the mustard, salt, and pepper, mix again; then fold into the whipped cream.

Makes 3/4 cup.

Rheghead - make sure you guard against the fumes - very acrid.

and fer goodness sake, dont get the juice in any cut or in your eyes...you'll be blinded and stinging for hours.

Whens dinner?

So, how did it turn out?

The horseradish sauce was great! I substituted English mustard though and used sherry vinegar instead and it turned out just fine! The fumes were a bit nippy but no worse than an onion.
