About Horseradish Sauce
Petra Kupska's krenova omacka is a warm Czech horseradish sauce with a smooth, creamy character. Her bechamel-based rendition combines butter, flour, beef broth and whipping cream.
Fresh horseradish gives the sauce its distinctive pungency. A little sugar balances that sharp flavour, while lemon juice supplies a light acidity within the rich dairy base.
The strained sauce has a velvety consistency. Sliced yeast dumplings and cooked ham are offered accompaniments, providing a soft bread texture and a savoury contrast to the sauce.
