Horseradish Dill Crema
This horseradish dill crema recipe is a pungent but rich Scandinavian-inspired sauce or sandwich spread, flecked with bright green fresh dill. Quick & easy to whip up!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
- ⅓ cup fresh dill, minced
- 2 tbsp prepared horseradish substitute 1-2 tbsp grated fresh horseradish
- 2 tsp kosher salt or to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper preferably freshly ground
- 1 clove garlic, minced 1 large or 2 small cloves
Instructions
one: prep dill
- Wash the dill sprigs in cold running water, and spin or pat them dry with a clean tea towel.
- Pick the fronds and separate them from the coarser stems.
- Stack and roll up the fronds, and slice them with a very sharp knife.
two: mince garlic
- Peel the garlic, and trim the root end.
- Crush the garlic with the side of a chef's knife, sprinkle it with a pinch of salt, and mince it into a fine paste.
three: (optional) grate horseradish
- If you're using fresh horseradish, peel it and grate it very finely with a grater or microplane.
- This will make a much more pungent horseradish sauce than using jarred prepared horseradish, so adjust the quantities accordingly to taste.
four: mix crema
- In a small bowl, mix the minced dill fronds, garlic paste, salt, black pepper, and horseradish with the sour cream or creme fraiche.
- Stir until well mixed. Let rest for a few minutes, taste, and adjust seasonings if necessary.
five: chill & serve
- Cover and chill the horseradish dill crema for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
