I used Gold's jarred horseradish but drained it after measuring it out so that it didn't add liquid to the creme fraiche. If made the day before serving, the flavor will deepen and become a bit stronger (but not too strong). If you do this, I recommend adding the chives the day you plan to serve it.
I used fresh horseradish (tasting along the way for quantity, I probably ended up using four inches of one piece that was about an inch in diameter). I love the final result as did my guests.
Do you use dry mustard or regular condiment mustard?
My BIL makes a version from the Dec. 2001 Bon Appetit. It includes lemon juice and shallots, no mustard. I could eat it by the spoonful.
Great inspiration for all kinds of dishes. I just served it with lamb chops, sautéed mushrooms, new potatoes, onion rings and broccoli. Everyone at the table loved it. I used twice the horseradish per published recipe and next time will use 3x.
I thought this was yummy but I come from a horseradish loving family so I added a lot more horseradish.
