Austrian Semmelkren Recipe (Horseradish Sauce)

Rezept drucken
Easy recipe for Semmelkren, a horseradish sauce made with bread rolls and beef broth, traditional Austrian side dish for cooked beef.
Portionen 4 portions

Zutaten

  • 2+½ cups white bread buns, thinly sliced 100 gram
  • 2 cups beef soup 500 ml, alternatively vegetable soup
  • 4 tablespoons horseradish, grated 20 gram, depending on how hot you like it
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • salt
  • pepper grated
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream optional

Anleitung

  • Cut bread rolls into thin slices.
  • In a pot, bring the soup to a boil.
  • Add bread slices and bring to a boil again. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk until a thick sauce is formed. (Usually this is done whith a whisk rather than a blender, so the mixture does not get too sticky.)
  • Season with vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • Peel the horseradish with a vegetable peeler. Grate it using a food processor attachment with fine holes or a hand grater. Beware of the pungency: you may want to cover your eyes with protection glasses or similar.
  • When the bread mixture has cooled, stir in the grated horseradish and optional sour cream. Important: add the horseradish only at the end, then do not boil or reheat.
  • Serve cold.

Notizen

The amount of horseradish depends on how fresh it is. The fresher the horseradish, the more pungency.
