Fresh Horseradish Sauce

Ingredients

3/4 cup freshly grated horseradish or bottled, if not prepared with cream
3 tablespoons minced shallots
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Salt and white pepper

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine the horseradish, shallots, garlic, mustard and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, whisking gently. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, for about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm.

Yield: about 2 cups
