Yogurt Cheese With Horseradish And Chives Food

CREAMY CHIVE AND HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chives and cook until bright green and tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cooled. Gently squeeze the water out of the chives. Put the chives, sour cream, horseradish, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender and blend until smooth.

THE BEST CHIP DIP! NO.... REALLY!

Steps:

• In blender or food processor add cream cheese, onion, horseradish, garlic powder (to taste) and chives. Start to blend adding milk in small amounts until desired consistency. Add additional horseradish and garlic as desired. Chill a minimum of two hours before serving or over night.

HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, chives, horseradish, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.

SALMON WITH HORSERADISH "CREAM"

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 deg.F. Lightly oil a 9-in. pie plate or other baking dish.
• Combine the yogurt, horseradish and chives in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper. Place salmon in pan and pour sauce over it.
• Bake salmon until just cooked through, about 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to plate. Garnish with chives.
• Note1: The original calls for low-fat yogurt, but I don't like the additives, and always use whole milk natural yogurt.
• Note2: The original recipe suggests 1 tbl. of the yogurt mix spread on the fish, with the remainder passed as a sauce. I really prefer cooking all of the sauce and serving the pan sauces with the fish.
• Note3: A fillet works as well as a steak, just watch the thickness.
• Note4: Try fresh dill instead of chives - lovely. Also, really drain the horseradish well.
