I had 500 g of multicolored carrots:
I peeled and trimmed them.
So I used it to peel the carrots into strips.
I added that to the carrots and this much chili flakes:
The container on the left is in fact a mill, to grind the flakes more finely.
I also added a scant tablespoon of regular household salt (not kosher salt). I used plain salt, not the salt with iodine and fluorides added. On top of that came four generous teaspoons of sugar and four scant teaspoons of this prepared horseradish:
I really wonder if the author of the original recipe was thinking of something like this when she advertised "prepared horseradish". She speaks of a "bottle" of the stuff - the concoction from Bavaria in the picture above is much too thick to put it into a bottle. It also contains sulfates, and I don't think that makes it better than the "wasabi" preparations readily available in Swiss supermarkets. One day, I think I'll use "the green gunk in the tube" and see what happens.
I used a pair of salad servers to work the seasonings into the carrots.
Then I stuffed everything into my pickle press.
While I was typing this report, it has sat in the fridge for - well, maybe a bit more than half an hour. I just took it out and transferred the carrots to a different container, setting some aside to try them.
They turned out really well!
The combination of "wasabi", ginger, and red peppers really sounds like a fusion dish!
