Horseradish Sauce

Dec 20, 2014 (2 Comments)

Horseradish Sauce - Comfy Belly

My first tasteย of horseradish wasย as a kid during a Passover seder. The horseradish isย ย symbolic ofย the bitterness of slavory the Jewish people endured in Egypt.

Every seder Iย spoon a healthy serving ofย horseradish on a piece of Matzo and engulf it. If you've ever sat through a Passover seder you will understand the ravenous state that ensues, and whyย things like horseradish becomes wildly appetizing.

If you like creamy sauces with a slight bite, I highly recommend searching out a source of fresh horseradish root and making this horseradishย sauce. It goes greatย with roasted cauliflower dishes, grilled and roasted veggies, and grilled and roasted meats.

If you want to use prepared, store-bought in a jar, check the ingredients; most have sugar, salt, and vinegar added.

Here are a few recipesย I like pairing with this sauce:

  • Chicken Shawarmaย and Jeweled Cauliflower
  • Roasted Carrots
  • Prime Rib
  • Mashed Roasted Cauliflower (add a tablespoon or two of this horseradish sauce instead of butter or oil)
  • Potato Pancakes
  • Zucchiniย Pancakes

Horseradish Sauce

If you prefer, you can use sour cream (my favorite is this cultured sour cream). For theย graded horseradish, you'll want about a 3 inch (7.6 cm) piece of horseradish root, peeled. I use a hand or box grader to grade the horseradish in the same way I grade fresh ginger.
I like making this ahead of time so the sauce has time to sit in the refrigerator andย the horseradish bits have time toย soak up the salt and vinegar.
To make this dairy-free, use cashew cream instead of yogurt, or a dairy-free yogurt.
