Welcome to “Love With Recipes”! Today, we’re diving into a delightful recipe that’s both simple and bursting with flavor – Horseradish Gelatin. This recipe hails from a treasured cookbook used by my father-in-law when he served as a cook on an American Air Force base. With its zesty kick and easy preparation, it’s an ideal complement to roast beef and a great addition to any meal. Let’s get started on this unique and flavorful side dish!
Ingredients:
- 1 package of lemon gelatin
- 2 tablespoons of chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon of horseradish
- 1 cup of hot water
- 1 cup of cold water
Instructions:
-
Dissolve the Gelatin:
Begin by adding 1 cup of hot water to a mixing bowl. Pour in the lemon gelatin powder and stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved. This step ensures that the gelatin forms a smooth base for your recipe. -
Incorporate Cold Water:
Next, add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture. Stir well to combine. The addition of cold water will help in setting the gelatin once it’s refrigerated. -
Flavor Infusion:
Stir in the chili sauce and horseradish. Mix these ingredients until they are evenly distributed throughout the gelatin. The chili sauce adds a subtle sweetness, while the horseradish brings a distinctive, spicy flavor that perfectly complements roast beef. -
Set the Gelatin:
Pour the mixture into a mold or a serving dish of your choice. Refrigerate until fully set, which typically takes about 4 to 6 hours, depending on your fridge’s temperature and the depth of the mold. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the gelatin has set and taken on a firm texture, it’s ready to serve. This Horseradish Gelatin pairs beautifully with roast beef, making it a versatile and delightful addition to your meal.
Tips:
- Mold Choice: Use a silicone mold for easy removal or a glass dish for a more traditional presentation.
- Chili Sauce: For a milder flavor, you can adjust the amount of chili sauce according to your taste.
