Andrew Zimmern Cooks: How to Prepare Fresh Horseradish

Looks amazing 👌

Grocery store HR is awful.

Way too course!
You'd give someone a heart attack eating horse radish so coarsely chopped! Needs another 1minute in the processor.

Poor choice of a video on horseradish. A major error in preparation occurs by adding vinegar at the beginning. VINEGAR is added only at the end and after allowing the processed mix to mature for at least two minutes, preferable four minutes or more. The acidic acid (vinegar) stops the aging process immediately. So if it is added at the beginning your horseradish never develops a rich flavor. It's just root and disappointing.

Horseradish is such a wonderful condiment and ingredient

I remember as a little girl always looking forward to your articles in the Tribune!!! just found you on you tube! THANK YOU for all your creations!

This tutorial seriously lacks both technique and knowledge - two things I always admired from Andrew.
First, you do not have to shred the root after skinning it.

Just chop it into 1/2" cubes and throw it in the food processor.
Then, add 1/2-3/4 cups of WATER. Turn on the processor until the horseradish has a fine consistency. You may have to scrap the sides down 3-5 times.
Now - WAIT 15 MINUTES! Then add the vinegar! Most people make their own horseradish because they like it strong.
Vinegar STOPS the heat, so unless you like wimpy horseradish, then do as Andrew says and add the vinegar at the beginning.
Geesh, never thought I'd be adding something to a Zimmern recipe - especially something as simple as this.
Love you anyway, Andrew! Stay safe.

This music is bad.

This is great! Just needed a quick tutorial. Perfect. Thank you! (Making beets and horseradish--a traditional Eastern European cold dish for the Easter holiday--used with your Easter eggs, Polish kielbasi, ham, or babka bread).

Love these videos! Keep ‘em coming!

Horseradish is the nasty stuff that comes from a horse's genitals and it's very crusty and horribly smelly.

Hey if it's spicy and gives you a kick in the pants,, eat it
