What Goes Into This Aioli:
Ingredient Notes
- Prepared horseradish – we used jarred horseradish for this recipe. It’s called ‘prepared horseradish’ and it consists of grated horseradish with vinegar and salt. If you have fresh horseradish root and want to prepare it yourself then you can do so, just bear in mind it will be stronger than jarred horseradish, so you may want to use less of it.
- Mayonnaise – should be a creamy and full fat version.
- Lemon juice – should ideally be freshly squeezed.
- Sour cream – should be full fat.
