Beet Horseradish Recipe
Beet Horseradish
Difficulty: Easy | Active Time: | Makes: About 2 cups

We adapted this recipe from CHOW Editor in Chief Jane Goldman’s mother’s The Jewish Festival Cookbook, which is sadly out of print. It’s the perfect accompaniment to our homemade version of gefilte fish from Firefly Restaurant in San Francisco.

Game plan: While the authors of the recipe suggest bottling this relish, it’s much easier to simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

This dish was featured as part of our Recipes for Passover photo gallery.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup finely grated fresh horseradish
  • 1 cup finely grated raw beet (from about 1 medium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pinch sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons white or cider vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the horseradish, beet, salt, and sugar in a medium, nonreactive bowl and stir to combine. Stir in enough vinegar to reach your desired consistency. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

    Vinegar is created when alcohol is (re)fermented, and the primary concern with vinegar is the source of the alcohol. As the name implies, malt vinegar is made from malt or beer which we’ve seen is chametz, and therefore malt vinegar is definitely chametz. In contrast, wine vinegar and apple cider vinegar are made from wine and apple cider which aren’t chametz. However, due to the possibility that the equipment used and/or the processing aids are chametz, it is prudent to only consume wine or apple cider vinegar which is certified as kosher for Pesach. http://www.oukosher.org/index.php/passover/article/4879/

    Regular vinegar is not kosher for passover.

    It would be helpful to suggest how much raw horseradish root this recipe requires.

  • Had to open all the windows and doors when I tried it in the food processor some years ago. How do you shred it without burning all your senses out of your nose?

  • Oy, I should try without one?

  • Thanks for the recipe!!

  • For this you need a recipe?
