Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Peel the horseradish with a vegetable peeler and rinse it. Cut into chunks that fit a food processor.

  2. 2

    Open a window or switch on the extractor fan. The fumes sting the eyes and nose.

  3. 3

    Grate the horseradish on the finest holes of a box grater, or pulse it in a food processor with the water until it forms a coarse paste.

  4. 4

    Stir in the vinegar within a few minutes of grating, since vinegar stops the heat from developing further.

  5. 5

    Add the sugar, salt and the water if it was not already used. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust. It should be sharp and a little salty.

  7. 7

    Pack into a clean jar, close the lid and let it sit for 15 min before serving.

  8. 8

    Keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve in small spoonfuls alongside cold or boiled meat dishes.
