Time 30m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound horseradish root - peeled, ends trimmed, cut into 1/4-inch dice
¾ cup water, or as needed - divided
⅓ cup distilled white vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place diced horseradish in a food processor; add a splash of cold water. Pulse on and off until mixture begins to blend. Scrape down sides of food processor container (the fumes are very strong, so keep your face away from the bowl and the room well ventilated).
  • Continue blending, adding a bit more water if mixture seems too dry. Process until horseradish is finely ground. Wait 2 minutes before adding the vinegar and salt; supposedly this makes the horseradish hotter. After 2 or 3 minutes, add vinegar and salt. Continue processing until mixture is smooth and creamy or to your desired consistency, adding more water if necessary. Transfer to airtight storage containers. Refrigerate.

PREPARED HORSERADISH



Prepared Horseradish image

Homemade prepared horseradish tastes fresher than store-bought varieties and is a surprisingly versatile condiment that will keep, refrigerated, for about three months. Start with fresh horseradish, which should be chilled to preserve its punch, and a box grater, a hand grinder or a food processor. Horseradish is potent, so make sure to keep the windows open or wear glasses to protect yourself from the fumes when handling the raw ingredient. Whisked into vinaigrettes, drizzled over poached fish or stirred into mayonnaise for a brighter egg salad sandwich, a spoonful of prepared horseradish wakes up whatever you're cooking.

Time 20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound fresh horseradish root
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup cold water, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Peel the horseradish and cut out any dark veins. Open any nearby windows and use safety glasses to protect your eyes from strong fumes. Cut the horseradish into 3-inch segments. Pulse in a food processor equipped with a steel blade until finely chopped but not mushy. (Alternatively, grate the horseradish finely on a box grater.)
  • Transfer the horseradish to a quart-size jar. Add the vinegar and 1 cup cold water until horseradish is almost covered, adding more water if needed to cover. Stir in the salt, seal and refrigerate until serving. The prepared horseradish will last up to 3 months in the refrigerator.

FRESH HORSERADISH HOT STUFF



Fresh Horseradish Hot Stuff image

The root contains highly volatile oils which are released by enzyme activity when the root cells are crushed. The whiter the root, the fresher it is. Keep the root chilled to preserve the heat. Vinegar stops the enzymatic action of the processed root and stabilizes the degree of hotness. Keep the horseradish chilled after making and seal as soon as using. Add at the end of cooking to keep as much heat for the dish.

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 1-2 cups, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 -2 lb fresh horseradish root (root about 12 inches, good quality root white, clean, firm, and free from cuts and blemishes)
3 ice cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white vinegar

Steps:

  • Place 3 ice cubes in a food processor.
  • Remove peel with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler.
  • Cut into pieces the size of the ice cubes and rinse.
  • Placing root in food processor with salt and pulse till fine.
  • Add chilled water only if needed. I try not to because I don`t like it watered down.
  • Let sit in processor for 3-4 minutes to produce heat. Then add vinegar and pulse to blend.
  • If the heat is not desired go ahead and add the vinegar without waiting.
  • Jar the ground horseradish keeping the fumes away from eyes and nose. It`s powerful! So do be careful.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh horseradish roots: Look for firm, smooth roots without any blemishes or signs of decay. Fresh horseradish roots should be heavy for their size.
  • Prepare your horseradish roots properly: Rinse the horseradish roots thoroughly under cold water. Trim off the ends and any side roots. Peel the horseradish roots using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife. Be careful not to cut yourself, as horseradish can be quite spicy.
  • Grate the horseradish roots finely: Use a microplane grater or a food processor fitted with a fine grater blade to grate the horseradish roots finely. This will help release the horseradish's full flavor and pungency.
  • Add other ingredients to taste: You can add other ingredients to your fresh horseradish, such as vinegar, salt, sugar, or cream, to taste. This will help balance out the horseradish's spiciness and make it more palatable.
  • Store your fresh horseradish properly: Fresh horseradish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze fresh horseradish for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Fresh horseradish is a versatile ingredient that can be used to add a spicy kick to a variety of dishes. It can be used as a condiment, a marinade, or an ingredient in sauces, dips, and dressings. Fresh horseradish is also a good source of vitamin C and potassium. If you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor and heat to your next meal, try using fresh horseradish. You won't be disappointed.
