Horseradish sauce, the Italian wasabi


Horseradish sauce is a horseradish-based accompaniment. Have you never tried it? Making it at home is easy, but be careful: it is only for strong palates!

You are lovers of boiled, but you are tired of flavoring it only with green sauce? Or you have some eggs that are about to expire and you want to stuff them in an unusual way, adding a spicy touch to the dish? The solution is all in a single answer: the horseradish sauce.

What is horseradish

Nothing exotic: horseradish is also known as horseradish, and is a root that grows spontaneously in the hilly and mountainous areas of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. It can rarely be found further south, in Lazio or Basilicata.

This sauce can be obtained from this root, but it is not for everyone: only palates who love strong and decisive flavors can deal with it! In fact, it has a decidedly spicy and pungent taste.

Making it at home is very simple and fast: it takes a few ingredients and about half an hour. Below, find the recipe step by step, while in our gallery some suggestions on where to buy it e with what to combine it.

How to make horseradish sauce

Ingredients

To prepare the horseradish sauce at home, you will need: 250 grams of horseradish root or horseradish, 100 grams of breadcrumbs, 75 grams of white vinegar, 15 grams of sugar, 30 grams of extra virgin olive oil, salt to taste.

Method

Get a fresh horseradish root, wash it well under running water, removing any residue of earth, then scrape off the peel. Now, cut it finely and set it aside. Take the bread, remove the edges and cut the crumb into cubes. Add this to the chopped horseradish and soak everything with the white vinegar, also adding the extra virgin olive oil, sugar and salt. Stir vigorously with a spoon and, if needed, knead everything with your hands as well, until you get a creamy and homogeneous mixture: here is the horseradish sauce.
