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.

HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together horseradish, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, ground red pepper and sour cream.

HOMEMADE HORSERADISH

Steps:

• In an electric food processor or blender, process horseradish root, vinegar, sugar and salt. Carefully remove the cover of the processor or blender, keeping your face away from the container. Cover and store the horseradish in the refrigerator.

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.

BUTTERY HORSERADISH CORN ON THE COB

Wrap each with a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 14 in. square), sealing tightly., Grill corn, covered, over medium heat until tender, turning occasionally, 15-20 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

WINTER VEGETABLES WITH HORSERADISH DILL BUTTER

Steps:

• In a large vegetable steamer set over boiling water steam separately the potatoes, the Brussels sprouts, the parsnips, the carrots, and the turnips for 8 to 12 minutes, or until they are just tender. In a saucepan melt the butter over moderate heat, stir in the horseradish, the vinegar, the dill, and salt and pepper to taste, and in a large baking pan toss the vegetables with the butter mixture. Keep the vegetables warm, covered, in a 200°F. oven.
