Horseradish sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make horseradish sauce? Prepare all products. Soak the horseradish in cold water for several hours. Why do you need to do this? When stored for a long time in the refrigerator or on store shelves, the roots become a little limp. To make them elastic again and make further processing easier, horseradish needs to be soaked in water. If you have freshly dug roots from the garden, then this procedure can be skipped.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the beets and rinse under running water. The amount of beets can be slightly increased or, on the contrary, reduced according to your taste and desire. If you take a little more beets, the color of the sauce will be more saturated and the taste will be softer.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the horseradish roots using a sharp thin knife.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rinse them well in clean water. Next you need to chop the horseradish root and beets. You can do this in three ways convenient for you: using a meat grinder, a blender, or using a grater. In a blender you will get a more mushy mass, and if you use a grater or a meat grinder, you will clearly notice pieces of horseradish and beets in the sauce.

5. STEP 5

   

   So, grind the root. I do this outdoors (on the balcony, terrace) or by the window, because... Horseradish irritates the mucous membrane of the eyes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the horseradish in a jar and cover with a lid, or place in a cup and cover with a plastic bag.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grind the beets.

8. STEP 8

   

   Send her to hell.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add salt, sugar and vinegar to the jar.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour in cold boiled water (adjust the quantity as desired, I added a little more than stated in the recipe). Mix everything thoroughly, try to see if there is enough salt, sugar and vinegar. If something is missing to your taste, add the missing component and mix everything again.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the jar of sauce in the refrigerator to steep for several hours, or even better, overnight. The longer the sauce sits, the tastier it will become.

12. STEP 12

    

    Done, you can taste it! This is what the sauce looks like when passed through a meat grinder or prepared using a fine grater.

13. STEP 13

    

    This is what the sauce looks like when blended using a blender.

For spiciness, you can add chili pepper. An appetizer with horseradish and beets will turn out to be fiery with fire!
