Horseradish Cream Sauce

If you get your hands on some fresh horseradish, which looks a lot like a celeriac copying a huge long carrot - try this fresh cream it simply beats any other shop bought product and marries well with a joint of Beef.

Preparation time: 15 minutes   Quantity: Serves 4 - 6 for a roast  

Ingredients

2 tablespoons fresh horseradish
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon caster sugar
pinch salt
pinch grated nutmeg (optional)
100 ml double cream

Method

  • Soak in the vinegar, sugar, salt and nutmeg
  • You can make this part ahead and leave in a jar in the fridge till needed
  • When needed whip up the cream lightly, till a little aerated but still sloppy
  • Spoon in the horseradish mix
