Russian Hren Horseradish Recipe Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Extra Hot Cream-style Horseradish
- 2 large beets
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vinegar + 1/2 teaspoon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt + 1/8 teaspoon
How To Make Russian Hren Horseradish Recipe:
Place washed beets in a medium pot and add enough water to cover them completely. Stir in 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Boil for about 1 hour, or until the beets can be easily pierced with a knife.
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.
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.
Recipe Notes:
You can use regular horseradish; simply add more to adjust the flavor.
