#GlobalApron 2024 challenge week 29 ingredient; horseradish. The after effects of Covid left me without sense of taste and smell for a year. I would get frustrated and determined to find something I could taste . I saw my jar of fresh horseradish and thought if I could smell or taste anything maybe it would be horseradish. I got a teaspoon of it and wow I could taste and smell and the best part was it tasted and smelled like it should.

Steps

N/ A

1

Rinse horseradish root and pat dry.
2

Peel skin with a vegetable peeler.
3

Chop root into pieces. Place pieces in food processor. Add water, process til well ground. Strain excess water off if too watery.
4

Add vinegar,a pinch of salt and pulse to combine. Depending on how much horseradish you processed it may require additional water, vinegar and salt.
Transfer to a jar and refrigerate. This will keep for 4-6 weeks. Adding the vinegar stabilizes the flavor. The longer you wait to add the vinegar the hotter the flavor. Add vinegar within 3-5 minutes or if you want a mild horseradish add vinegar to food processor with chopped horseradish and process.
