Questions about Horseradish sauce
What do you serve horseradish sauce with?
It is a classic partner for roast beef, and also works well with smoked salmon, other smoked fish, beetroot and cold roast meats. Stir a little into mashed potato or serve it alongside a hearty beef stew.
Can you heat horseradish sauce?
You can stir it into a warm dish, but add it just before serving rather than boiling it: prolonged heat dulls horseradish’s sharp bite. For a warm sauce, take the pan off the heat first, then mix in the horseradish sauce.
How do you make horseradish sauce less strong?
Mix it with crème fraîche, sour cream or plain yoghurt a spoonful at a time. A little lemon juice can brighten the flavour, while a small pinch of sugar can soften its sharpness.
How should you store horseradish sauce after opening?
Keep it in a sealed container in the fridge and use a clean spoon each time. Homemade sauce is best used within a few days; for shop-bought sauce, follow the storage and use-by instructions on its packaging.
What can you use instead of horseradish sauce?
For a similar sharp kick, mix Dijon mustard with crème fraîche or sour cream. Wasabi can also bring heat to smoked fish, but it tastes different and can be more pungent.
What is the difference between horseradish sauce and creamed horseradish?
Creamed horseradish is grated horseradish blended with a creamy base, while horseradish sauce may include other ingredients such as vinegar, mustard or sugar. The names are sometimes used for similar products, so check the ingredients if you want a particular texture or flavour.
Can you cook horseradish sauce into a roast dinner gravy?
Yes: stir a little into the finished gravy after taking it off the heat, then taste before adding more. Adding it at the end keeps more of its characteristic pungency.
