Fresh Horseradish Food

FRESH HORSERADISH HOT STUFF

Steps:

• Place 3 ice cubes in a food processor.
• Remove peel with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler.
• Cut into pieces the size of the ice cubes and rinse.
• Placing root in food processor with salt and pulse till fine.
• Add chilled water only if needed. I try not to because I don`t like it watered down.
• Let sit in processor for 3-4 minutes to produce heat. Then add vinegar and pulse to blend.
• If the heat is not desired go ahead and add the vinegar without waiting.
• Jar the ground horseradish keeping the fumes away from eyes and nose. It`s powerful! So do be careful.

HOMEMADE HORSERADISH

Steps:

• In an electric food processor or blender, process horseradish root, vinegar, sugar and salt. Carefully remove the cover of the processor or blender, keeping your face away from the container. Cover and store the horseradish in the refrigerator.

FRESH HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Finely shred the horseradish root. It may make your eyes water like onions do!
• Add remaining ingredients to bowl and mix well.
• Funnel into clean 1/2 pint jars and cover with caps.
• Will keep in refrigerator for one year.

HORSERADISH CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld. Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2 to 3 weeks.

EASY PRIME RIB WITH FRESH HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat the prime rib dry with paper towels. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 day and up to 3 days to age the meat.
• At least 4 hours and up to 1 day before serving, mix the horseradish, creme fraiche, vinegar and sugar together; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Toss the rosemary, sage and thyme with the oil, and arrange on the bottom of a roasting pan. Season the prime rib generously with salt and pepper, then set it on top of the herbs.
• Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the prime rib registers 125 degrees F, 3 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours. Remove from the oven and let rest at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees F. Right before serving, return the rested prime rib to the oven and roast until the outside is browned and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the prime rib to a cutting board. Cut the meat away from the bones with a sharp chef's knife and then slice the meat across the grain.
• Serve with the crispy herbs, horseradish sauce and flaky sea salt.

FRESH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Pare horseradish root and cut into small pieces. Process finely in food processor (you may have to do this in batches).
• Mix the ground horseradish root with vinegar, wine, sugar and salt to taste. The fresher the mixture the hotter it will be. For mellower flavor, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a day or two.

HOMEMADE PREPARED HOT HORSERADISH

Steps:

• 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.
