Creamy Horseradish Sauce
Description
The Creamy Horseradish Sauce begins by pressing the prepared horseradish through a fine mesh sieve to remove liquid, which prevents a thin sauce and intensifies the spicy bite. Combining it with sour cream provides a luscious and cooling backdrop while apple cider vinegar adds brightness and subtle acidity. Minced chives or scallions introduce gentle onion notes, and Worcestershire sauce deepens the flavor with umami elements. The mixture is chilled before serving to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
This sauce pairs well with roast beef, pork, smoked fish, or as an accompaniment to sandwiches and burgers. It provides a piquant contrast without overwhelming the main dish.
To maintain the best texture, keep prepared horseradish dry when possible, using fine draining and patting techniques outlined. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper to taste.

Notes
