Warning, this horseradish is only for the very brave. I highly recommend slipping on a pair of ski goggles before working with the horseradish.
1 lb horseradish, peeled and cut into rough chunks
2/3 cup white wine vinegar
2-4 Tbs white wine
1/4 cup honey (The Times‘ recipe called for sugar, but I substituted)
1/2 tsp salt
2 beets, peeled, cooked, and quartered
1) Fit your food processor with the shredding attachment and shred the horseradish, one chunk at a time.
2) In a separate bowl, combine the vinegar, white wine, and honey. Whisk to combine and set aside.
3) Switch to a metal blade on your food processor. Add the beets, one at a time, and pulse to combine. Stream in the wet mixture while pulsing, until you have a thick, red paste.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
