  • 2 large beets
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar + 1/2 teaspoon

How To Make Russian Hren Horseradish Recipe:

Allow the cooked beets to cool to room temperature. Use gloves to peel off the skin, then finely grate the beets using a fine grater.

3

After grating the beets, add 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Mix well. Then add 1/4 cup of horseradish, or adjust to taste. Adjust seasoning with more salt, vinegar, or sugar according to your preference.
