ĆwikŁa Na Wielkanocny StÓŁ Food

ĆWIKłA: POLISH SHREDDED BEET HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Wash the beetroot thoroughly, but don't peel it.
• Fill a cooking pot with water, bring to boil and drop the beetroot in. I usually cook a whole pot of beetroots at the same time (to make a few jars of Ćwikła or something else). Cook for 1 hour until beetroot is tender, but still holds its shape.
• Once cooked, leave the beetroot to chill. You can peel it now, it should be easy to remove the peel at this point. It's worth putting on disposable gloves at this point, beetroots can stain your hands quite a bit.
• Time to grate the beetroot. You can use a food processor, or just a regular box grater. Shred half using the smallest holes, and another half using the larger ones. This way the texture is more verified and interesting.
• If you're using fresh horseradish, peel it and grate using the finest holes. [Do it outdoors if you can, it tends to be strong].
• Add two spoonfuls of grated horseradish (either freshly grated or from a jar) to our shredded beetroot. Add a teaspoon of sugar and combine together with a spoon.
• Season with a solid pinch of salt and a solid pinch of ground black pepper. Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Combine again with a spoon.
• Have a taste. If the flavour is too acidic for your liking, you can add a little bit more sugar or add a little bit of grated apple.
• Move Ćwikła to a jar and close with a lid. Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
• Serve with meats, sandwiches, boiled eggs.
