Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Fresh horseradish root
- 200 grams Cooked and peeled beets
- 60 milliliters White vinegar
- 15 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 milliliters Cold water
- 5 grams Salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the horseradish root: Peel the horseradish root using a vegetable peeler and cut it into smaller chunks for easier processing.
2. Grate the horseradish: Using a food processor or a fine grater, process the horseradish until finely grated. Be cautious, as the fumes from freshly grated horseradish can be quite pungent.
3. Prepare the beets: If not using pre-cooked beets, cook whole beets in boiling water until tender (approximately 30-40 minutes). Allow to cool, then peel and cut into smaller pieces.
4. Grate the beets: Place the cooked beets in a food processor or grate them finely by hand.
5. Combine ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the grated horseradish and grated beets together.
6. Add vinegar and seasoning: Stir in the white vinegar, granulated sugar, cold water, and salt. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
7. Adjust flavor: Taste the mixture and adjust for sweetness, salt, or vinegar levels according to your preference.
8. Store: Transfer the chrain into a clean, airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness and develop the flavors further.
9. Serve: Serve chilled as a condiment alongside meats, fish, or as an accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
