Carrot and Horseradish Relish

Developed to pair with gefilte fish on Passover, this condiment from Liz Alpern and Jeffrey Yoskowitz of The Gefilteria (and co-authors of The Gefilte Manifesto cookbook) is versatile beyond the Jewish holy days: Use it to add a spicy kick to scrambled eggs, a welcome bite to rich grilled cheese, or even—oy vey—as a spreadable component to a decidedly non-Jewish charcuterie platter.

  • 8 oz. fresh horseradish, peeled and coarsely grated
  • 3 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

  • 14 cup sugar
  • 14 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 12 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions

Step 2

In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, vinegar, salt, and 1 cup water to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Pour the vinegar syrup over the carrots and horseradish and pulse until slightly chunky. Scrape into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
