Horseradish Sauce with Dijon Mustard and Sour Cream
Ingredients: - 40 g horseradish - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard - 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice - 1 teaspoon sugar - salt, to taste - 200 g sour cream
Horseradish is an ingredient with an intense and spicy flavor that enriches any dish. To prepare a delicious horseradish paste, start by peeling the horseradish. Choose a small grater to achieve a fine texture, ideal for easily integrating into your mixture. Sprinkling the grated horseradish with lemon juice is essential, as it will not only keep its bright white color but also add a note of freshness. The lemon juice can be added gradually, adjusting to your preferences.
After you have finished grating the horseradish, in a large bowl, combine it with a tablespoon of sugar, another teaspoon of salt, and a tablespoon of Dijon mustard. These ingredients are essential to balance the spicy flavor of the horseradish. The sugar will bring a sweet contrast, while the salt will amplify the flavors, and the Dijon mustard will add a note of complexity and a slight acidity. Mix all the ingredients well with a spatula or a wooden spoon, ensuring that the horseradish is evenly distributed in your mixture.
After homogenizing, add the sour cream, which will contribute to the creaminess of the paste and reduce the spiciness, making it more pleasant for those who prefer milder flavors. Mix again until all ingredients are well integrated and you achieve a smooth and homogeneous paste.
This horseradish paste can be served alongside various dishes: juicy meat roasts, steaming cabbage rolls, or freshly grilled fish. It is also excellent on a slice of fresh bread, bringing an extra burst of flavor and aroma. It can also be used as a condiment in sandwiches or as an ingredient in salads to provide a spicy note. So, don't hesitate to personalize your recipe by adding other spices or herbs according to your preferences. This horseradish paste will surely bring a splash of vigor to any meal!
