Any ideas on processing horse raddish??

dickiebird · Sep 9, 2014

This past spring I was in a farm supply store and they had bags of horse raddish root for sale.
I bought a couple of bags and planted the roots in 5 gal. buckets on my deck. They went gangbusters!!!
I think you wait until after the 1st frost to harvest, but then what does any one do to make it into something you can eat?

You are needing cooks more sophisticated than me and Dad, @dickiebird .

His technique was to do no more than grind a little at a time . .

. then, mix the ground root with mayonnaise.

We just grind ours in the food processor and add a bit of vinegar. It will be hotter if you wait till after a frost. Good luck!

I've never seen it used for anything other than 'horsy sauce'.
IS it used for anything else?? Has anyone heard of it being cooked like other roots?? Roasted?? Diced and mixed with other veggies??? I would think that it would be completely overpowering if you took a big bite of it.

We always use the ground horse radish with a little vineger , place a little bit on a piece of ham ... tastes great, but sometimes you get a piece that really takes your breath away. Also, my wife mixes some ground radish + vinegar with a little mayo and serves it as a side dish with pork and / or with slices of beef roast. Very good spread of ham or beef roast sandwitches too. :drool

We prepare 2 ways. One with vinegar and milder cut with beets. Pretty pink red. Great with boiled eggs.

Looks like we have a plan, blender, raddish, vinegar.
Thanks for the tips!!!!

Tip ... When you prepare / blend it you just may want to do it outside or at least have your windows open as depending on how HOT the batch is and you first smell it WOW ......... DAMN ... BREATH ... TAKEN ... AWAY. :ep

I planted mine in the spring and harvested this month. I ground it up and added vinegar. I am going to use some with mayonnaise. I used most of it for this tonic. I will let you know how it is if I survive the first taste. It is almost a week old now. http://www.healthy-holistic-living.com/master-tonic.html
