I'm slicing them and tossing them into salads. What else could I do with radishes? Mon May 28 03:19:08 -0700 2007 65217 OrganicLife 1 2607376 This should get you started ... with ideas on what to do with the greens too. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/291777 The recipes in order of success were - pickled radish greens, nice and crunchy. Surprisingly pleasant and addictive. - Raw radish greens mixed with green salad, pine nuts, chicken and orange slices - Cottage cheese salad with sliced radishes, oranges and cinnamon - Roasted radishes with lavender salt - Sautéed or braised radish greens. Really spinach tasting. - Orange and Radish Salad with Cinnamon Vinaigrette - Radish with radish greens - Braised Radishes With Red Wine Vinegar - Sautéed Radishes - Mashed radishes.

Mon May 28 16:09:49 -0700 2007 2607376 36312 HillJ 3 2608524 Actually, no. The visual appeal got to me. However, after that I learned to appreciate them more. They are quite good roasted.

I do love them. Radishes really are great with sweet butter and a little salt. Braished radishes are delicious. Here's a link that includes Deborah Madison's recipe: http://www.sunbowfarm.com/newsletters2006/volume3-6.pdf Yesterday we had lovely sandwiches--homemade bread, cracked pepper goat cheese, arugala, and radishes. They were wonderfully peppery sandwiches. I've also been known to have a butter and radish sandwich. Also consider salads in which radishes star rather than radishes as a small ingredient of a green salad.

Usually just with Wasa crackers and a little goat cheese. Tue May 29 08:42:42 -0700 2007 2607313 78358 malenky 1 2611072 They're also good chopped and mixed into salsa. Or guacamole, but then you have to eat it asap or it gets less nice. Tue May 29 13:57:37 -0700 2007 2607313 13445 Louise 2 2611722 FYI I sliced up about 10 radishes tonight and braised them in a skillet with baby greens from my garden (chard, kale, collards, spinach) with a tiny bit of butter, salt, and pepper and they were fantastic! And what a pretty side dish it made! Even my husband who hates radishes gobbled them down! Tue May 29 17:15:42 -0700 2007 2611072 65217 OrganicLife 3 2612241 Sounds wonderful, OrganicLife! I'm glad you've found some ideas you can use. Tue May 29 20:51:45 -0700 2007 2611722 49541 debbiel
