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.
For cream style recipe: Follow above directions and add 1/2-cup mayonnaise when blending final ingredients.
- 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!
**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.
