What goes with Horseradish?
The intact root is firm, fibrous and relatively restrained in aroma. Cutting or grating ruptures its tissue and enables the formation of pungent compounds, producing the familiar sharp nasal sensation. Fresh root contributes very little fat or salt of its own; prepared sauces may contribute both, together with vinegar and sugar, and cannot be exchanged without adjusting the recipe.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Horseradish?
Horseradish cuts through fatty meat, oily fish and creamy textures by adding pungency rather than acidity. Sweet earthiness from beetroot gives it a contrasting base. In aerated or frozen preparations, its release changes as the food warms in the mouth; use a measured fresh infusion and assess the serving temperature before adding another sharp or bitter component.
