Cayenne/Horseradish sauce

[PtMD989]

I started up new sauce with cayenne, horseradish, garlic and onion and about 4% salt and water . I used SD hooch for my starter. All the ingredients are raw with the peppers being previously frozen. The horseradish seems really mild in heat but with a touch of sweetness.

Expensive sushi restaurants they grate the wasabi root at the table. The standard joints, green dyed horseradish. But they do get it very fine! It's like a play-doh texture.

 
Horseradish is a fun to grow perennial and can be invasive.  We had some in the garden when we bought our place and it is fun to dig up and grate fresh.  
 
I forget what the compounds are that make horseradish pungent, but they dissipate very quickly in the air, which makes the horseradish not pungent any more.  
 
 
 
It is pretty much impossible to find real wasabi in the supermarkets.  Most wasabi pastes are horseradish.  I've found 100% real wasabi powder on Amazon for a reasonable price and it can be re-hydrated and served like the yellow mustard that's served with BBQ pork and sesame seeds.

Real wasabi is highly prized. Theirs a uk producer that has a hidden farm from thieves.

Update on my creation.
The fermentation is going strong. The 6 week old hooch works well. I tasted the sauce and it is just ok. It has ok flavor but lame heat and lame pungentness from weak or old horseradish. I’ll eat it cause I made it. [emoji52]

Hahaha. You nailed that one on the head. In my youth, I spent a lot of time sitting by myself at the kitchen table (I couldn’t be excused from the table till I cleaned my plate off). Sometimes the dog got some food, sometimes I could sneak it into my napkin.[emoji16]
