horseradish sauce

Horseradish sauce that you buy in the supermarket is a mild version of the sinus-clearing eye-watering sauce that can be made very easily from raw horseradish root.

This is not wasabi or Japanese horseradish. They are different plants and whereas horseradish is very common and made from the root, wasabi is rare, intensely hotter and made from the stem.

I have fond memories of my poor father, face wrapped in a wet tea towel, mincing horseradish roots while fighting back the tears. A bit like slicing onions but orders of magnitude worse, it’s one of the few culinary roots that fights back.

If you are brave enough to grate your own horseradish then my best advice is to do it outdoors and stand upwind.

Horseradish Sauce

So much better than shop-bought sauces, pungent and hot.
