  • Boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes are great side dishes to absorb the spicy sauce.
  • The horseradish sauce can also be used as a base for other dishes, such as boiled beef.

Goes Well With:

Pork knuckle in horseradish sauce pairs well with various side dishes to complete the culinary experience. Boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes absorb the spicy sauce well and provide a comforting balance to the horseradish's spiciness. A fresh mixed salad or a light cucumber salad complements the hearty dish perfectly and adds some freshness to the plate. For drinks, a cold pilsner beer or a glass of white wine is suitable to balance the robust flavors of the pork knuckle and horseradish sauce. If you prefer non-alcoholic options, a refreshing herbal or fruit tea also pairs well with the hearty flavors. For a well-rounded culinary experience, you can serve a fine dessert such as red fruit jelly with vanilla sauce or a refreshing sorbet to pleasantly refresh the palate after the rich main course.
