Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 teaspoons Prepared horseradish
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves slightly. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and fragrant. Allow it to cool before squeezing the garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and mashing into a paste.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until it develops a golden hue, stirring constantly.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the roasted garlic paste and prepared horseradish. Add salt and pepper to taste, and whisk until the sauce is smooth and the flavors are combined.
If desired, stir in grated Parmesan cheese for extra richness and flavor.
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. Serve warm over your favorite dishes or as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
