Horseradish Sauce

United Kingdom

Horseradish and roast beef have been a British Sunday lunch pairing for generations, along with Yorkshire pudding. The pungent root cuts through the rich, fatty meat.

A fiery, creamy sauce from freshly grated horseradish root. The essential kick for roast beef, smoked fish and a good sandwich.

1 tbspwhite wine vinegar
150mldouble cream, lightly whipped
1 tspEnglish mustard
1/2 tspcaster sugar
pinchsalt

Method

1

Peel and finely grate the horseradish in a well-ventilated room — the fumes are strong and can make your eyes water.

2

Stir the grated horseradish with the vinegar right away to keep the heat from fading.

3

Fold in the lightly whipped cream, mustard and sugar. Season with salt.

4

Chill for 30 minutes. Serve with roast beef, smoked mackerel or in a roast beef sandwich.

Chef's Tip

Freshly grated root is far punchier than the jarred stuff. Add vinegar quickly — it stops the horseradish turning bitter and holds its heat.
