On our way back from Wisconsin’s Madeline Island, we found a rustic eatery on the banks of Lake Superior. The house specialty was sturgeon sauteed with a delicious dry horseradish and vegetable rub. The waitress told us that because horseradish is so abundant in the area, it is utilized in many forms, not just as a pickled paste for cocktail sauce, but also dried and used to accent a number of foods such as eggs, grilled vegetables, frying batters, and chip dips. All the way home from that holiday I thought of ways to use such a blend. With it, your options are truly limitless.
