Horseradish with Beets {Ćwikła z Chrzanem}

Horseradish is one of my favorite condiments. With it’s dual purpose of a topping and a sinus clearing medicine, I always keep a jar handy, especially in the winter time.

It works well on anything you would put ketchup on, sausages, ham, potatoes, sandwiches and it is always on my Easter table. Roasted shredded beet, mixed with horseradish makes ćwikła, and in addition to cutting the sharpness of horseradish, it adds a bit of sweetness and earthiness to the mix. To cut down on time, you can use store-bought horseradish.

My grandpa Władysław on my dad’s side grew horseradish, or horseradish grew itself all over the yard. It is unbelievably spicy after harvesting. He would cry his eyes out while cleaning and grating it but his horseradish with beets were the absolute best in the world. You could smell the spice in the air.

You can now watch the video below to see my quick method of making this delicious condiment.
