Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons of sour cream
1 Tablespoon of grated horseradish, fresh or jarred
Sea salt and ground black pepper
1 lemon
Olive Oil (or whatever kind you like)
Directions:
Put the sour cream and horseradish into a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper
Halve your lemon and add a squeeze of juice to the bowl
Add a splash of olive oil and mix well
Taste and add a little more horseradish if you think it needs to taste more fiery
So simple, so good. At Ted's Montana Grill (the restaurant Todd and I worked at during college), we had this great horseradish sauce we served with steaks and onion rings. This recipe is different, but just as tasty and probably great with onion rings as well.
This recipe, as well as many of the others, come from Jamie Oliver's book "Jamie's Food Revolution". While Corrie disagrees with his work to change the school systems in his latest show on ABC (she does have very valid points), I found myself rooting for him to change how people eat. Schools should change, but you can always pack your kids nutritious food if you have a huge problem with what the school feeds them. But people should be making changes in their homes and not blame it solely on the school system. And read to your kids! It's not Corrie's job.
This cookbook of his is a great starter cookbook. Todd and I bought it on sale about 4 months after we were married and that started our push to cooking. The recipes are easy and well instructed. It's delicious, nutritious food that anyone can make. And yes, it would be great if we could all afford to eat organic and local and whatnot like Jamie wants, but us youth interns have to settle. And really, Todd and I spend about as much on food every week as I did just for myself in college (Chicago is so expensive!) buying boxes of Mac and Cheese and crackers. This cookbook helped us figure out how to make tasty food for pretty cheap. And like Mom (and every nutritionist) will tell you, eat whatever you want as long as you eat an appropriate amount of calories in a day.
So, to sum up this rather sporadic post:
1. "Drafts" are amazing
2. Horseradish=good
3. Food Revolution show was a little off, but overall good.
4. Food Revolution book is fantastic and you should buy it.
5. Eat whatever you want, just in moderation.

i will definitely give this recipe a try. i love horseradish and am going to put a plant in my garden this year. i have never had it on steak but horseradish sure helps to make a "mean" roast beef sandwich.
Let's make something clear: SAM wants horseradish sauce. I tend to shy away from those sinus-clearing foods.
My main beef from Jamie Oliver is his assumption that people eat poorly out of ignorance, not out of choice or financial need. We aren't stupid,and we don't need your guidance. Sometimes we just want a cheeseburger, and sometimes all we can afford is mac and cheese and ramen.
