Spicy Horseradish Sauce

Name: Spicy Horseradish Sauce
Yield: Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients: 1 16-ounce container sour cream; 1 tablespoon extra-hot prepared white horseradish (such as Atomic) or regular prepared horseradish; 1 tablespoon whipping cream; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt; 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1/2 teaspoon (scant) hot pepper sauce; 1/2 teaspoon (scant) Worcestershire sauce

Chef Tracht likes an assertive sauce, so she uses extra-hot prepared horseradish. For a milder sauce, use less horseradish or the regular-strength variety.
