Beets and Horseradish – Ćwikła

INGREDIENTS

• 5 beets

• 1/2 cup horseradish

• salt

• 3 tbs lemon juice

Bake or cook beets.

If you prefer to cook: Place clean whole beets without peeling in a pot, cover with small amount of water, bring to boil and cook on small fire – depending on the beets size – for about an hour.

If you choose to bake: Clean beets, cover each with aluminum foil. Bake in 180 C/ 360 F for about an hour.

Once they’re cool, peel them and grate them on a medium sized grater. Actually in Poland a medium sized whole grater is usually called: beets’ grater:) 

Season with salt. Add lemon juice or white vinegar or – balsamic vinegar:) It’s not Polish, but if you can accept that fact;), go for it – it makes a difference! 

Add grated horseradish. You can add less and check the taste, so that it isn’t too hot. Keep it in a jar to keep all the flavors inside mixed together.
