 1 1/2 cups crème fraîche or sour cream
 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
  Salt and freshly ground black pepper

* Fresh horseradish is sold in well-stocked produce markets; if you can't find it, you can substitute 1/4 to 1/2 cup prepared horseradish and omit the vinegar. Either way, make the sauce a day ahead of time to allow the flavors to blend.
