what to do with radishes

Here are some ideas for what to do with radishes:

1. Raw Radish Uses:

   • Add a pop of color, crunch, and peppery flavor to salads, grain salads, creamy avocado toast, tacos, sandwiches, slaws, salsa, rice paper rolls, pasta, and noodle bowls.
   • Enjoy them as a simple snack sprinkled with a little kosher salt/flaky sea salt.

2. Cooked Radish Ideas:

   • Sauté, roast, or grill them to tame their heat and bring out their natural sweetness.
   • Boil/steam, then puree them to serve with proteins, puree into sauces and pureed soups, turn into radish fries, braise them in a flavorful liquid, or add them to soups, stews, and curries.
   • Roast them in the oven with cooking fat, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
   • Use them in roasted radish recipes, such as roasted radish and broccoli slaw, roasted radish salad, or roasted radishes as a side dish.

3. Other Creative Uses:

   • Pickle them.
   • Use them like onions in cooking, such as frying or adding them to soups.
   • Make radish kimchi.
   • Use them in unexpected ways, such as in radish green pesto, vegetarian Niçoise salad with radishes, or kale and root veggie salad with carrot-ginger dressing.

Remember, radishes can be enjoyed both raw and cooked, and they offer a versatile range of flavors and textures to various dishes.
