Recipes with Horseradish



Cocktail Sauce

My first memory of horseradish is from when I worked at the White Bear Yacht Club, a private country club in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. The salad lady made the cocktail sauce for a wonderful shrimp cocktail in a footed glass that held ice to keep the sauce and shrimp chilled. A little dish like a custard cup was filled with the sauce and then nestled down in the ice. The shrimp hooked around the sides of the glass with a garnish of lemon and parsley. The glass was set on a doily-lined plate. It was a beautiful picture. The simple recipe for the sauce is below. Recipe by Donna Frawley.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups

1 1/2 cups bottled chili sauce
2 tablespoons horseradish
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve.
