Duck with Horseradish Cream Sauce
Do you like the taste of a slow-roasted prime rib topped with a little of that creamed horseradish? The pungent flavor of the horseradish provides a great accompaniment for a juicy slab of beef. You get pretty much the same result when you pair a creamy horseradish sauce with perfectly cooked duck, goose or antlered game. Not only is it delicious, but it is so simple that you will make this one again and again. If you want yours spicier, add more horseradish or a dash of Tabasco. Don’t forget…if you overcook your ducks, they won’t taste good.
