Ingredients
Semmelkren
1 piece | Onion |
80 g | Clarified butter |
300 g | Bread cubes |
80 g | Horseradish, grated |
500 ml | Beef, chicken or vegetable stock |
Some | Chives |
1 pinch | Salt |
Preparation steps
Fry the ingredients and deglaze
- Chop the onion into small cubes and sauté in clarified butter until translucent.
- Fry the bread cubes with 40 g of the horseradish, season with salt and gradually deglaze with the stock (not all the stock at once).
Mix the breadcrumb mixture
- Remove the pan from the heat and carefully mix the bread cubes with a rubber spatula so that they retain their consistency.
- Leave the mixture to stand.
- Add more stock depending on the desired consistency.
Garnish
- Garnish with the remaining horseradish and chives.
Tip: If you like, you can toast some bread cubes in a pan and then arrange the croutons on top of the horseradish. This creates a great crunchy effect!
