Homemade horseradish is really quite easy if you have a food processor--and are careful. While this looks like something from the grocery store, the flavor is incomparable. Intensely hot and aromatic, this is the real deal.
1 pound horseradish root - peeled
ends trimmed
cut into 1/4-inch dice
¾ cup water
or as needed - divided
⅓ cup distilled white vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
Side Dish
Directions
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.
