The Vitamix Blender makes horseradish preparation a “whizz:”**
- 1/2 cup (about 1/4 lb.) peeled and chunked fresh Horseradish Root
- 1 Tablespoon White or Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Sweetener of choice–Swerve, Sugar, etc.
- 1/8 teaspoon Sea Salt
Peel and cut horseradish into chunks. Place empty Vitamix Blender container on base and secure lid. Select Variable 1 and turn machine on–slowly increase speed to Variable 5.
While machine is running, remove lid plug and drop in pieces of horseradish and other ingredients through the lid. Plug opening until all pieces are grated. Stop machine and scrape down sides of container with spatula. Process about 15 more seconds or until consistency desired.
- To maintain color and taste, store in an airtight container in refrigerator.
- When peeling and chunking horseradish root, wear gloves and do not touch your eyes! Avoid taking whiffs of this while working with it.
For cream style recipe: Follow above directions and add 1/2-cup mayonnaise when blending final ingredients.
**Since I own a Vitamix Blender, that is what I have always used for this recipe. I don’t know how it would work with another type.
