Some important points
- To prepare hot sauce with horseradish, use only high-quality products without the slightest hint of rot.
- Use only coarse salt for preservation. Iodized salt, which is sold in all stores today, is not suitable for adjika and other vegetable sauces. With it, vegetables begin to ferment and liquefy. As a result, the cans are thrown away, time and food are wasted.
- For winter storage, adjika must be boiled with horseradish. IN cheese In its form, it can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than three months.
- Preparing the basic ingredients is easy, but horseradish can be a bit of a hassle. During cleaning, and especially when grinding, the root emits fumes. They make you lose your breath and your eyes begin to water. Place a plastic bag on the meat grinder and grind the root directly into it. Or put the cup in a bag and tie it in a meat grinder.
- Another of the most important components, without which it is generally impossible to prepare adjika, is hot pepper. You need to work with it wearing rubber gloves.
