Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I was making my favourite sauce for some beets yesterday and had a thought: I ONLY use horseradish for that one dish - dunno why. Of course, in the bad old days I used it to go with certain non-vegetarian items of food but find that tofu doesn't demand it in the same way Out of curiosity - and to give me some ideas, please - do you use horseradish much and with what or in what do you use it?

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I like making a thinnish bean pate and mixing some horseradish in with it to make it spicier (something like butter beans works well) The Dragon Current stitching - Map of Durham http://tempewytch.diaryland.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Erin and Dragon, Thanks for both your suggestions! Do you just use the (presumably grated, jarred and preserved) horseradish plain, Erin? Or do you mix it with something for your dip? And Dragon, I'd love to know what else you put in that bean pate!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Just plain, jarred. I like the Heluva Good brand: http://www.thedailyplate.com/nutrition-calories/food/heluva-good/horseradish since many are high in sodium, but not this one. Also good on broccoli. -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog - drpatsant Friday, August 29, 2008 10:59 AM Re: Horseradish query Erin and Dragon, Thanks for both your suggestions!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks for the tip on that brand, Erin - I shall go on a Quest for it & #13; & #10; The one I currently use has, wait for it, 60 mg sodium per tsp & #13; & #10;Which does not inspire me to add it to very many foods. Except for the & #13; & #10;beets. I love it, with mustard and cider vinegar and dillweed, on & #13; & #10;cooked (hot or cold) or raw beets. Around here it's hard to get jarred & #13; & #10;horseradish that isn't mixed in with dairy. But since one doesn't need & #13; & #10;a large supply of it (though it could be addictive!) a couple of jars & #13; & #10;discovered in an out of the way place would be a thrill.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 You could mix it in mayonnaise or any sauce or dressing that you use in lieu of mayonnaise. Trader Joe's sells a Wasabi Mayonnaise. The " wasabi " in this product is actually horseradish, and colored slightly greenish with spinach powder. An almost identical product -- similar ingredients list, and identical jar (even the jar cap) -- is sold under the " Dynasty " label, which I have seen only in Asian markets. Dynasty also sells a " Thai Hot Chili Mayonnaise. " Almost all " wasabi " sold in this country -- even the product sold in little tins in dry, powdered form in Asian grocery stores -- is actually horseradish. There is such a thing as real wasabi, the root of a different plant that is native to Japan, but it is much more difficult to grow than horseradish and much more expensive. Now that you've made the comment " tofu doesn't demand it in the same way, " I think I'll make a batch of tofu from home-made soymilk, using fresh horseradish root from my garden. Many of the flavored or seasoned tofus in the market are made by adding the flavorings to the soymilk before the coagulants are added.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 More firehouse cooking then recipe, in a 10 quart pot, place veggies in halfway, whatever is on hand, fresh or frozen, fill water to two fingers over the top, add two tsp of garlic powder, two heaping tsp of horeradish, heat on medium till the veggies soften slightly and warm. In your bowl, add Mrs. Dash to taste. Has been refered to as Gulag delight. Tastes even better the second day over brown rice.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yes, thanks, I was thinking of mixing it in some soy mayonnaise Nice to know that it is an actual condiment rather than just a make-do. About wasabi (for the benefit of others), Wikipedia has inter alia this to say: " Wasabi is generally sold either in the form of a root (real wasabi), which must be very finely grated before use, or as a ready-to-use paste (horseradish, mustard and food coloring), usually in tubes . . . " The reasons for this are given. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasabi Love and hugs, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds excellent! Ya know, I did not mean to suggest that tofu wasn't or couldn't be interesting. I simply meant that the, er, non-vegetarian protein sources that I and some other members used to eat before we became vegetarian rather _needed_ to be helped along or camouflaged by horseradish. Btw, some members might really appreciate your recipe - or method - for doing all this! (If and when you have time.)

Now I haven't done that. I shall try that with my next stew - not, I think, stir-fry dishes since I make those in Asian ways. Soups? Yes of course. Thanks for the suggestion.
