Meerettichsauce (Horseradish Sauce)

Why not make your own horseradish sauce instead of buying a jar from the supermarket?  The following recipe is very simple and this sauce goes well with any kind of meat or fish!  The only downside is that your eyes will water and perhaps, your nose will get stuffed while grating the horseradish.  Anyway, it is worth the effort because the taste is awesome!

Ingredients:
6 cm fresh Meerettich (horseradish) root, to be peeled & grated
1 small onion, to be peeled & finely cubed
1 pip garlic, to be peeled & finely minced
20 g butter
20 g plain flour
200 ml fresh cream
about 150 ml water
salt & ground white pepper to taste

Method:
In a saucepan, gently heat butter and add cubed onions and minced garlic.  Sauté until soft and then, add flour.  Mix well before adding horseradish.  Then, add a little water followed by fresh cream. Check consistency before adding more water.  Bring to a light simmer and check seasoning.

Serve hot or warm!

Bon Appetit!
