Madges Horseradish Recipes

Steps:

• In a large, wide pot, bring fish stock to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.
• In a large bowl combine whitefish, yellow pike, and carp. Add onions, eggs, matzo meal, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup cold water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a paste.
• Moisten hands with cold water. Shape about 1/3 cup of mixture into an oval slightly larger than an egg (3 to 4 inches long). Place gently in simmering stock. Repeat with remaining mixture. Add carrots. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and simmer, until firm and opaque, about 1 hour. Cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container. Chill until stock gels, at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve cold, or at room temperature, garnished with fresh horseradish and a sprig of dill. May be made up to 2 days ahead.

Steps:

• In an electric food processor or blender, process horseradish root, vinegar, sugar and salt. Carefully remove the cover of the processor or blender, keeping your face away from the container. Cover and store the horseradish in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Peel the horseradish and cut out any dark veins. Open any nearby windows and use safety glasses to protect your eyes from strong fumes. Cut the horseradish into 3-inch segments. Pulse in a food processor equipped with a steel blade until finely chopped but not mushy. (Alternatively, grate the horseradish finely on a box grater.)
• Transfer the horseradish to a quart-size jar. Add the vinegar and 1 cup cold water until horseradish is almost covered, adding more water if needed to cover. Stir in the salt, seal and refrigerate until serving. The prepared horseradish will last up to 3 months in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, pulse horseradish until coarse, about 30 seconds. Add beets, vinegar, sugar, salt, and 1/4 cup water. Process until fine, but not pulverized, about 1 minute. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Cut roots into manageable pieces.
• Scrape the outside of the horseradish roots until clean.
• Drop into cold water after scaping to prevent discoloration.
• Drain and grind up fine with a handgrinder, food processor or in a blender with a little vinegar.
• Spoon into clean jars, filling to about 2/3 full.
• Add 1 tsp of salt to each jar, then fill with white vinegar.
• Cover and refrigerate for a few days before using.

Steps:

• Place diced horseradish in a food processor; add a splash of cold water. Pulse on and off until mixture begins to blend. Scrape down sides of food processor container (the fumes are very strong, so keep your face away from the bowl and the room well ventilated).
• Continue blending, adding a bit more water if mixture seems too dry. Process until horseradish is finely ground. Wait 2 minutes before adding the vinegar and salt; supposedly this makes the horseradish hotter. After 2 or 3 minutes, add vinegar and salt. Continue processing until mixture is smooth and creamy or to your desired consistency, adding more water if necessary. Transfer to airtight storage containers. Refrigerate.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender; process until pureed. Carefully remove cover of processor or blender, keeping face away from container. Cover and store in the refrigerator. Use as a condiment or in recipes.
