Ingredients
Scale
- About 10 inches (25cm) fresh horseradish root
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough exterior of the root and trim off the ends of your horseradish; the skin of the root is really tough and you definitely don’t want this in the finished product.
- Once you have cleaned your horseradish root, the rest is easy. Chop the horseradish into small pieces and put it into a food processor or use the fine holes on a grater to grate the root manually and mix using a mortar and pestle. A food processor is preferable since it is far faster than grating and mixing by hand.
- Add water to the processor and chop until the horseradish has been thoroughly blended and has the consistency of a thick paste.
- Add the vinegar and salt to the horseradish immediately and mix briefly to blend these ingredients in.
- While working with horseradish, don’t get too close and keep the windows in your kitchen open for ventilation; horseradish can cause your eyes to tear up and sting easily.
- Once it’s all mixed, transfer the horseradish sauce into a clean jar with a lid, and put it in the refrigerator.
