Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tsp fresh chives, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 tsp lemon zest, minced
1 Tbsp capers, minced
2 Tbsp pure horseradish
1/4 c sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk all the ingredients together, with the exception of the chives.
  • 2. Chef's Note: For this sauce to work, it needs a really good "pure" horseradish. You might even go crazy, buy some horseradish plant and grate your own. However, if you do remember one thing. Once exposed to air, if not used immediately or mixed in vinegar, the grated mash darkens, loses its pungency, and becomes unpleasantly bitter-tasting. I HATE it when that happens.
  • 3. Season with salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Finally, add the chives and stir to incorporate. Chef's Note: Salt is an interesting ingredient... we love what it does to dishes, and in some cases, the addition of salt can make some dishes taste (to our brain) sweeter. But watch how much you add. In a sauce, the addition of salt can intensify over time. So, watch how much you add.
  • 4. Cover and allow to rest in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour to give the ingredients a chance to get to know each other.
  • 5. Serve with your best roast beef, prime rib, or over vegetables for that added kick. Enjoy Keep the faith, and keep cooking...
