A German classic served alongside boiled meats and smoked fish, Meerrettich sauce is a horseradish cream that thickens gently over low heat. It is a festive-table favourite next to roasts and poached meats.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the sauce base

8 min

Melt the butter in a small pan, add the flour and cook for 2 minutes without letting it clump. Whisk in the cream a little at a time until smooth.

2

Add the horseradish

25 min

Stir in the grated horseradish, sour cream, salt and sugar, then simmer gently over low heat for 25 minutes until the sauce thickens.

3

Finish and serve

5 min

Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice, let it rest for 5 minutes and serve warm.

Reminder

Do not let the sauce come to a hard boil — cream-based sauces can split at high heat, so thicken it patiently over low heat. Allergens: contains milk and dairy, wheat (gluten).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you cannot find fresh horseradish, jarred grated horseradish works too — just drain it well so the sauce does not turn watery.

Yılbaşı sofrasında rosto yanında denedim, kıvamı tam kararında oldu ve herkes tarifi istedi.
