Treat your ingredients with care...

Horseradish root — When grating the horseradish root, make sure to do it in a well-ventilated area as it can release strong fumes. Use caution while handling and avoid touching your eyes or face. For a milder sauce, you can peel the horseradish root before grating.

Tips & Tricks

For a spicier sauce, increase the amount of grated horseradish.
Adjust the tanginess by adding more or less vinegar and lemon juice according to your preference.
If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of milk or cream.
Store the horseradish sauce in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve the sauce alongside roast beef, smoked salmon, or as a dip for crispy fries.

Serving advice

Serve the horseradish sauce chilled to enhance its refreshing flavors. It pairs exceptionally well with roast beef, prime rib, or steak. Spread it on sandwiches or burgers for an extra kick, or use it as a dip for vegetables and chips. The creamy texture and tangy taste of this horseradish sauce will elevate any dish it accompanies.

Presentation advice

When serving the horseradish sauce, consider placing it in a small bowl or ramekin to showcase its creamy texture and specks of grated horseradish. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or a thin slice of lemon for an added touch of elegance.
