Description
Homemade horseradish is really quite easy if you have a food processor–and are careful. While this looks like something from the grocery store, the flavor is incomparable. Intensely hot and aromatic, this is the real deal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound horseradish root – peeled, ends trimmed, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- ¾ cup water, or as needed – divided
- ⅓ cup distilled white vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
- 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.
