Fresh Horseradish

My father loved horseradish, and for a few years he even grew his own. Be warned: you definately want to do this outdoors or somewhere well-ventilated; compared to the commercial stuff, fresh horseradish is very powerful stuff!

1 large horseradish root
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Clean horseradish root well and scrape off the skin. Grate it outdoors or near an open window, or use a food processor. Measure one cup of grated horseradish and add lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
Store in a tightly-covered jar in the refridgerator. Best when used within four weeks.
