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.

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.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try using less horseradish next time.

I'm not a huge fan of horseradish, but this sauce was surprisingly good! It had a nice balance of heat and flavor and it wasn't too overpowering.

I made this horseradish sauce last night and it was a hit! It had just the right amount of heat and flavor. I used it as a dipping sauce for shrimp and it was delicious.
