Ćwikła isn’t quite easy to pronounce so I’ve always just called it red beets, because that’s what is is. Buraki, in Polish simply means beetroots and this is a typical Polish condiment, served with roast or any kind of smoked meat or sausage. It is a must on the holiday table, regardless if it’s Christmas or Easter. Ćwikła basically consists of grated beetroots and horseradish. I prefer it with as much horseradish as possible, really hot and nice! This goes perfect with your Easter ham and hard-boiled eggs. 1 tsp. white vinegar 1 tsp. brown sugar 1 cup homemade or purchased horseradish (add as much as you like to suit your taste) 1 lb. beets, cooked, peeled and grated or 1 (14 oz.) can prepared beets, drained and grated 1/4 tsp. salt I suggest if choose to grate your own fresh horseradish root that you wear goggles! In a large bowl, mix together the vinegar, brown sugar, horseradish and salt until well combined. Add beets and mix thoroughly. Pack into clean jars and store up to 2 months.
