horseradish recipe

[bif]

And a couple amusing stories on my blog: http://cookingwiththemark.blogspot.com

Ingredients
horseradish root
vinegar (I prefer cider vinegar but white works too)
pinch of sea salt

Directions
Outdoors, peal the horseradish root until the brown bark is gone and only the white flesh remains. Grate finely into a large bowl. Add a bit of salt and some vinegar and mash with a fork. You don't want it too vinegary, so add water until it's a thick paste. Put in jars and refrigerate for about a week before using. It's keeps for at least a year. I also put a piece of plastic wrap over the jar before putting the lid on.

1. Love horseradish

But sadly, none of the stores here in the desert sell it (fresh). So, I'm SOL. Maybe next time I'm in LA, I'll make a list of "no can gets" and ... literally ... go to town.

2. I have jarred, prepared horseradish on hand. Some of them are > 1 year old. Keeps well.

Besides the obvious beef dish use, it can be a good kick in a lot of other stuff. I'm steaming some asparagus tonight. It'll be topped with a butter/tarragon/horseradish dressing. Tarragon might be a bit much, but that's what I'm going to do.

Love horseradish.

3. We love horseradish with sour cream with our roast beef.

A few years back I found fresh horseradish and grated it and mixed it with sour cream... very strong, fresh tasting, needs lots of salt. Now the stuff in the jars is so disappointing. If onions make you cry, watch out for horseradish!!!!

I highly recommend it. We can usually find it at Whole Foods or at the regular stores at holiday time.

4. I like mixing it with ketchup with kielbasa!

5. Dip for pretzels

I like to take a softened block of cream cheese & add prepared horseradish, I keep adding it to suit my taste, I can't eat pretzel's without it...I try not to add any of the liquid from the horseradish.....
