Horseradish Sauce

Dec 20, 2014 (updated May 11, 2024)

Horseradish Sauce - Comfy Belly

My first taste of horseradish was as a kid during a Passover seder. The horseradish is  symbolic of the bitterness of slavory the Jewish people endured in Egypt.

Every seder I spoon a healthy serving of 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 why 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 horseradish sauce. It goes great 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 recipes I like pairing with this sauce:

  • Chicken Shawarma 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
  • Zucchini Pancakes

Horseradish Sauce

If you prefer, you can use sour cream (my favorite is this cultured sour cream). For the 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 and the horseradish bits have time to soak up the salt and vinegar.
To make this dairy-free, use cashew cream instead of yogurt, or a dairy-free yogurt.

    Hi Mary, I just use a decent quality brandy or cognac with fruit notes such as E&J or Hennessy.

    Flavored brandy or just good quality plain brandy?
