Prepared Horseradish

This is great on lots of things from corned beef to roast beef to beets to shrimp cocktail. I even like to change things up a bit and add a fresh beet for a colorful and earthy change of pace.

Here's a list of other ideas for horseradish sauce:

Add horseradish to sour cream for a very British roast beef cream.

Add to Catsup for a Kick-Ass fried fish or shrimp cocktail accompaniment.

Serve with fancy cold cuts or pates and sausage.

Put on your chicken or turkey sandwiches.

Add to your cranberry sauce.

Prepared Horseradish

Ingredients

  • 8-10-inch long piece of horseradish root

Instructions

  1. Dig up or buy an 8-10 inch horseradish root.
  2. Remove the leaves from the root and rinse the dirt off of the root.
  3. Wash well.
  4. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the surface skin off of the root. Chop into pieces.
  5. Grind in food processor with vinegar, sugar and salt.
  6. Transfer to jar: Using a rubber spatula, carefully transfer the grated horseradish to a jar. It will keep for 3 to 4 weeks in the refrigerator.
