Good to know

Horseradish belongs with fondue chinoise (meat cooked at the table in hot stock) as much as the stock does. Grated apple makes it rounder and less sharp. The quark keeps the dip fresh, and a little soured cream makes it creamy.

Swaps

Soured cream → skyr (also provides protein). Apple → pear. Horseradish from a jar → freshly grated horseradish (hotter, so use less). Chives → dill.

Cooking tips

Stir the lemon juice into the apple straight away, or it will turn brown. After 30 minutes in the fridge, the flavours come together.
