What can I do with horseradish sauce?

ladymacbeth_uk

I have three quarters of a jar of horseradish sauce left, I was just wondering if you clever guys had any ideas how to use this up apart from with roast beef or steak?
As it has quite a strong taste, could I add this to curries? stews? Would it be nice with chicken?
Any ideas welcome...
Happy New Year folks....:j

I wouldn't put it in curries/stews - think you'd lose the flavour. It's good in mashed potatoes though.

Yeah, it's awesome in mashed potatoes. Also, if you like carrots and parsnips, trying mashing them with the horseradish as well.

Seems to be used mostly as a side sauce in salad dressings/salsas etc but isn't horseradish the basis of tartare sauce? In which case I'd serve it with fish (wasabi used in sushi is a very potent form of Japanese horseradish).

I use horseradish sauce in smoked mackerel pate. It's the easiest thing in the whole world!

2 smoked mackerel fillets, skinned and flaked
about 1/2 oz butter
1-2 tsp horseradish (to taste)
2 tsp lemon juice
milk, or single cream

You can either use a processor, or I just use a fork. Mix the top 4 ingedients together until the mackerel is as flaked as you'd like. Then add milk or cream, until it's a pate like consistency. This is so yummy on toast for a special breakfast!

Whilst the yummy sounding pate above uses horseradish in a fish dish, horseradish is not usually an ingredient in tartare sauceas far as I know. Gherkins and capers are used in tartare sauce.

But it might be good with fish - just never tried it

I use Horseradish in making chilli and it helps make fab Tuna burgers -
Fresh Tuna (I work on about 150-200g per portion you want to make) chopped finely or minced in a machine, add finely chopped spring onion and mix well with decent quantity of Horseradish sauce to bind it* - squeeze out very hard (sometimes a lot of liquid comes out) and form into patty shapes and I usually fry in non-stick pan. Serve as burger in a bun

* I'll use 2-4 tsp of Hot Horseradish sauce, much more if it's creamed horseradish.

I view it in a similar way to mustard! Horseradish and cheese :drool: :drool:

You could try adding a blob to shortcrust pastry and reducing the water by the same amount to make a pokey pastry for a savoury pie. I have added it when making Savoury Mince or Scotch Mince to give that a bit of poke/bite too.

Horseradish and smoked mackeral is :drool: forget the pate! :laugh:

I'm a bit weird in that I would serve it with chicken/pork/lamb and beef, depending on what I had. If you like it, you like it!

If you think of beef products, such as hm burgers, sausages, have it with those.

I love horseradish sauce mixed with creme fraiche as a sauce or trout! It's equally as good with salmon and the creme fraiche means that it's not hot at all.

That's wierd
I've just done homemade salmon fishcakes for tea and couldnt find any sauce to go with it... hubby likes just plain old vinegar... soooo...
I mixed up a bit of mayo left in the bottom of a jar and the same in horseradish sauce... and it was lush!!!
I recommend it to all... and it used the leftovers from Christmas (which seems such a long time ago now!)

i was going to suggest the mackeral pate,and saw that it was already there[and v.yummy and v.simple to make too]!
so my next alternative is , to mix it with mayo, and spread it on roast beef butties!!
