Fresh Horseradish Hot Stuff Recipes

HOMEMADE PREPARED HOT HORSERADISH

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.

FRESH HORSERADISH HOT STUFF

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.
