White sausage in horseradish sauce
Without a doubt, many people associate white sausage with Easter and some people only eat it during this festive time. It’s a pity, because you can easily eat it all year round. It is a tasty addition not only to sour rye soup but also to casseroles, roasts, stews, it can be baked with vegetables or cooked. In its simplest form, i.e. boiled, I like to serve white sausage for breakfast or dinner with bread and some sauce. It is often a sauce such as mustard, horseradish, ketchup or mayonnaise. In turn, when I serve cooked sausage for dinner, after cooking, I like to combine it with horseradish, onion, mustard sauce or with roasted vegetables. I usually also serve sausage prepared this way with mashed potatoes or bread.
The recipe for white sausage in horseradish sauce is a recipe for a dinner dish that, despite its simplicity, tastes fantastic. This dish consists of two elements: cooked or rather poached sausage in hot water, and a simple horseradish sauce with cream and creamy horseradish from a jar. I steam the white sausage for 25 minutes in water with the addition of spices such as bay leaf, allspice, garlic and salt. Spices add a more intense flavour to the poached sausage. The horseradish sauce, in which I later cook the sausage, is made from fried onion, cream, horseradish and seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. As I mentioned above, the sausage prepared in this way can be served with bread or mashed potatoes. If I choose to add mashed potatoes, I often also add sliced pickles.

How to make white sausage in horseradish sauce.
Pierce the uncooked white sausage in several places with a toothpick. Pour water into the pot, add bay leaf, allspice, garlic and salt. Boil it. Reduce the heat to low, add the sausage and simmer for 25 minutes. The water in the pot should not be boiling.
In the meantime, put the butter in a separate pot, add the diced onion and fry over a medium heat for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently. Next, add flour and fry it for 2 minutes. Then pour in the water poured from the cooked sausage, stirring vigorously to avoid lumps. Pour the cream into the ingredients in the pot, add horseradish, pepper and salt and, stirring occasionally, cook over a medium heat for 4 minutes. After that, add the cooked sausage and continue cooking over a low heat for 3-4 minutes.
Good to know when making white sausage in horseradish sauce.
Yellow onion can be replaced with shallot or white onion. They have a more delicate flavour than yellow onion.
Horseradish from a jar can be replaced with freshly grated horseradish. Please remember that such horseradish will have a more intense flavour, so you should use a slightly smaller amount.
