Horseradish Help

[saucisson]

I bought some Wasabi today in Waitrose, 99p for 43g I did the same test I did on horseradish: 1 minute full power in the microwave and it retained most of it's heat and flavour.

Check out Lidl's web site, they now have a recipe section which includes a very tasty way of using wasabi and salmon.

WW To pick up an old thread - I bought a packet of horseradish POWDER this week - have you tried this form before? I want to give it a go next time I get some beef.

Hi Hartz

Nope never heard of it. I will be VERY interested in your findings if you would be kind enough to post them.

I at the moment use Wasabi paste - 1 tube to 5kg of meat seems to be OK for my customers.

Cheers WW

Will do WW. My home produce making time has been consumed with plum jam recently, but that's all done now, but am out in Cheshire this weekend, so another week goes by without more sossidge making.

I think wasabi will definitely give you more heat but not neccasarily more radish flavour. Maybe you could try getting your hands on a Japanese Daikon radish and grind that up with your beef. If you can't obtain that try either black or regular red radishes as a flavour supplement to the horseradish in your sausages. Just an idea!!!!!!!!

Thanks WS

When I am in Birmingham next week I will go into Wing Yip's and have look for some and give it a go. I must admit I still cant get the HR flavour at all right but the heat is no problembo.

Tried our local butchers Beef and HOrseraddish last week and they seemingly have the same problem.

Did you ever try fresh grated horseradish?
Be interested to know the result if you did.

Hi Wheels

Nope I never got around to that as I think you would have to mix it with something like cream to quiten down the taste. Having tasted raw horseraddish I would not like to come across a bit hiding in a sausage skin.

Beware of raddish in sheeps clothing.........

I have ordered some horseraddish powder and I am going to give it a try at the same ratio as onion powder - will let you know how I get on......

Cheers WW

I grind fresh horseradish every year. Use the grinder (small holes), not a grater. You really want to break up the fibers to release the flavor. My Dad puts it through twice, but my eyes can't handle that. Put it into an empty jar and add white wine vinegar to cover. Add a dash of salt and sugar. Let it sit for a week.

I'm sure if you throw a few tablspoons into your sausage, it would come through.

Hi Meat and thank you

I have just ordered 500g of Horseradish powder for an experiment so I will let you know how I get on

I know it's been a while, but how did the powdered horseradish work out?

Phil

hi Wheels

Many apps for not responding ref the powder.

I purchased quite a quantity from ebay and it is now all I use. I found that using the powder and about 1/2 pt of cream per 3 kg of mix gives a really good flavour. It seems to bring out the taste as well as the heat.

Cheers WW

Thanks WW I'll try that.

Horseradish powder and other 'bulk' spices are available here:

Looks as if they stock a good variety of spices in bulk. Postage may be an issue though unless buying over �50's worth, in which case it's free.
