Horseradish, Garlic and Dill Cheese - Fermented

Fermented nut cheeses can be eh...and they can be RAWlicious!  This batch turned out super RAWlicious. A lot of you have asked for the recipe. I accidentally misplaced my notes and then found them, but had to decipher my own writing. This can be a daunting task. haha! Feel free to eliminate any of the ingredients you don't like. Use the base, and add your choice of herbs and spices. One should note that adding fresh herbs to fermented cheese will shorten the shelf-life of the cheese, but if it's good, no worries because it won't last that long. Taste it. If it tastes bad, it probably is.

Horseradish 'n Dill Crackers/Bread

As part of my recent exploration into "my roots," I prepared fresh Horseradish. It was deeply earthy and delicious. From that recipe, I made a Horseradish Hummus/Dip, which was lighter in texture, but also fabulous. I needed some crunchy crackers... So what else? Horseradish  'n Dill Crackers, of course! The horseradish flavor turned out rather mild  while the dill seems to permeate the crackers. I love dill, so it works for me, and I can spread either horseradish or the hummus on them. If you're not a fan of dill, replace it with another herb. Walnut crackers are great! Walnuts give a richness, extra crunch, and a splendid nutty tone. This recipe may also be prepared as a bread.

Beet and Horseradish Dip/Hummus

For those of you following my blog, you know i'm on a root kick...and one of the roots my doc wants me to have a tiny bit of each day..horseradish root. I made some kick-ass horseradish, but it's really potent and I needed to come up with a milder alternative. The goal was to create a hummus, however, this could be used as a veggie dip, hummus, condiment in wraps, etc. Once you prepare the horseradish, you can make this as hot or mild as you like. Irish Moss Paste is optional, but I explain in another post how to make it and freeze it so you have it on hand when needed. Here's a great article on the benefits and cautions in using horseradish.
