Creamed Horseradish

Creamed horseradish is a smooth, creamy condiment made from grated horseradish blended with cream or mayonnaise. The result is milder than plain horseradish, yet still retains its characteristic pungency and sharp aroma. It is widely used as a cold sauce or side condiment for roast or boiled beef, smoked salmon, sausages, and boiled eggs. In Central European cuisine, it is a classic accompaniment to traditional dishes and Easter meals. It is easy to prepare at home by combining freshly grated horseradish with heavy cream, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
