Best Horseradish Ginger Butter Recipes

HORSERADISH BUTTER

Steps:

• Pulse 1 stick softened butter in a food processor with 1/3 cup chopped chives, 3 tablespoons horseradish, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest until smooth. Scrape the butter onto plastic wrap or parchment, wrap and shape into a log. Chill until firm. Slice and serve over grilled steak.
• TIP: Try making other flavored butters with odds and ends from your fridge: capers, pickles, olives or even hot sauce.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HORSERADISH BUTTER

Steps:

• In a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, combine butter, horseradish, parsley, dill, panko, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Close the bag, pressing out most of the air. Mash everything together until well combined and smooth, then use a ruler or the back edge of a knife to scrape and work the butter to the bottom of the bag so it forms a log, rolling it as you go. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up, or up to 1 week.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the potatoes. Once cool enough to handle, unwrap and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds (there is no need to peel unless you dislike the skins). Potatoes can be roasted up to 2 days ahead; wrap and chill, then slice them just before using.
• Arrange rounds on a large rimmed baking sheet and count how many you have. Slice enough thin slabs of butter from the log so that you have one per potato slice, and place butter on top of potato slices.
• Move the oven rack so that it's 4 inches away from the broiler. Bake potatoes at 350 degrees until they are heated through and the butter is softened, 5 to 15 minutes depending upon how cold the potatoes were. Adjust oven temperature to broil, and broil until the butter is golden brown at the edges, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve garnished with herbs and fresh horseradish if you like.

EYES WIDE OPEN GINGER-HORSERADISH DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a non-reactive bowl (or use a blender) and blend until smooth.
• Adjust seasoning if necessary and refrigerate until ready to serve. Best prepared at least 1 hour in advance.
• NOTE: for a less thick version of this dressing, add a little bit of water to desired consistency.

HORSERADISH BUTTER (PEPPERROTSMOR)

Steps:

• Cream the butter until it is light and fluffy; the butter should be almost white in colour.
• Add the horseradish sauce and salt, if using, and beat into the butter to mix thoroughly.
• Transfer to a serving dish or small individual sized pots; chill until ready to use.

HORSERADISH CHIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl cream together the butter, the horseradish, the chives, and salt and pepper to taste. Let the butter stand, covered, in a cool place for 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop. Serve the butter with grilled meat.
