Pungent, spicy..conjures memories of holiday shrimp cocktail platters. But, oh, this root veggie that is used like a spice is versatile and brims with flavor! It’s easy to grow in your garden, too.
Say goodbye to jarred, store-bought horseradish. Did you know you can easily make your own? How cool is that? Homemade Horseradish is simple, easy, and wonderful. Go one step further with this new skill and make a Horseradish Cream Sauce, which is wildly versatile in the kitchen.
One thing that horseradish pairs perfectly with is potatoes. Hello, comforting food! Be prepared to drool over Cheddar, Horseradish, and Chive Mashed Potatoes and Horseradish-Bacon Twice Baked Potatoes. Delish!
What does horseradish work with (besides chilled shrimp)? Seared Strip Steaks with Horseradish-Root Vegetable Slaw..juicy, hot Roast Beef and Beet Nosh and tender (of course) Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Chive Sauce.
Need a side? Grilled Green Beans with Horseradish Ketchup and Horseradish Potato Pancakes with Raw Apple Salad are perfect for vegetarian sides or entrees.
