👨‍🍳 Method

  2. 2
    Grind the horseradish root in a food processor to a coarse texture.
    ⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorFood processor
    💡Horseradish root stings: work with gloves, and keep your face away when you open the processor.
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  3. 3
    Add the vinegar, sugar and salt and process again, to an even but not completely smooth texture.

  4. 4
