Can you smoke horseradish?

[JoanieNoBaloney]

I was thinking as long as my prime rib was on the Traegar for 4 hours, can I actually smoke the horseradish root along with it, then peel, grate to make a sauce. Need an answer ASAP! The PR goes on Christmas Day!

Yes you can :-) However, you’re gonna have to add some fat to the sauce for the flavor to bloom.

Put it in cold and maybe dampen the surface and it should pick up some smoke. You can cut it into a couple of pieces if you want more surface area - I don't recommend that though. It shouldn't take long either - half hour should be plenty IMO.

So, peeled then? Thanks BTW

[JoanieNoBaloney]

How long? And just some olive oil (for fat), you think? I usually grate it with sour cream, fresh lemon juice + rind, splash worcestershire and fresh chives.

Maybe try a dash of wine to the olive oil.

[JeffJ]

Yes. Peeled.

Aaaaand my first thought was sure, but I don't know if it will make you high...
