Horseradish Snack - General Cooking Principles
We choose for cooking only fresh, dense, not damaged roots. Bad specimens can spoil the dish. We wash horseradish roots in cold water, preferably under running water to wash off sand and dirt.
Cut off the upper skin of the roots with a sharp knife. We do this carefully and slowly, so as not to be cut off. The knife should not be big, but sharp. After we divide the roots into three parts. Then horseradish grind with a meat grinder or grater. At this time, prepare the rest of the products for snacks and marinade. All the ingredients are mixed and laid out on sterilized banks.
Banks for horseradish snacks better to take a volume of 0.25 or 0.3 liters. We rinse them with running water with baking soda (dishwashing detergents are not suitable here, they often leave marks or are not completely washed). If the banks are cool, or were washed with cold water, they cannot be immediately sterilized - they will burst. First, pour in every little warm water. Then pour the water. After the banks sterilized with boiling water or hot steam. Suitable and method using a hot oven.
Covers either pour boiling water or immersed in boiled water. Or cover the lid in a small saucepan and fill with water. We put on the fire and boil a few minutes. Then we turn off the fire, but we still don’t get the covers.
