Homemade Creamy Horseradish Sauce Recipe
Description
The sauce combines crème fraîche and mayonnaise for a creamy base that is contrasted by the pungent heat of raw prepared horseradish. Dijon mustard adds subtle spice, Worcestershire sauce contributes depth, and distilled vinegar introduces a slight acidity to balance richness. Salt and black pepper season the mixture suitably.
Whisked together and refrigerated before serving, the sauce has a fresh, tangy flavor with a smooth, spoonable consistency. Using fresh chives as garnish adds a hint of mild sharpness and color.
It serves as an accompaniment to roast beef, sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce, providing a creamy heat that complements savory dishes.
Making the sauce up to a day ahead allows flavors to meld, and it can be refrigerated for up to two weeks without chives or three days with chives. Fresh herbs can be added for variation.
