And now that we are liberated on the concept of cooked radishes -- I am putting together a Vietnamese clay pot today of tofu and vegetables, and I've decided radishes are one of the vegetables!cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-67621971362748823702010-09-21T06:04:56.502-07:002010-09-21T06:04:56.502-07:00A couple of years ago my husband wanted to saute r...A couple of years ago my husband wanted to saute radishes and I just kind of looked at him like who'd ever do such a thing? He tried it and they were great. Bravo, Chris.

Hugh Laurie is one of my main men. <br /><br />I never had luck growing rads -- even though "they" suggest having children plant them because they are so easy to grow, blah, blah.

Strange, since I've never read mysteries.<br /><br />Your rads are lovely.

In fact, I just cooked a bunch up last night. It's super simple - just clean, cut a strip off of the skin, simmer in a mixture of garlic, salt and chili pepper flakes, cool and eat. I put them in all sorts of things like potato salad or as a bit of a zip with my green salads. I think that my current favorite is spinach salad with the pickled radishes and turnips and an oil and vinegar dressing spiced up by the pickled garlic. <br /><br />Vinegar rulz!Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-68697530057920572172010-09-05T18:27:24.188-07:002010-09-05T18:27:24.188-07:00You are so strange,(Cooked??)

Bonus! Hot butter and crunch.<br /><br />Shine: OMG, you are melting my heart. I know your grandma's penchant for radishes in salad. Dig this, though: My grandfather (probably a generation older than yours) DID eat radishes with butter. But not cooked. We are always open to new experiences.<br /><br />Got one more for you: Compressed Watermelon. Use a vacuum sealer. How cool!

Good on you Cookiecrumb!<br /><br />Since my Grandma died this spring I have - for reasons I can't explain - been craving all the foods she cooked and enjoyed eating. (Went through a crazy watermelon & Rollkuchen phase this summer) She was the one person in my family who loved radishes. However, she only had them one way: sliced in salads.<br /><br />I think I will head out to the produce market Tuesday to get some radishes to try with the butter & salt. Also want to try cooking them.
