My recent harvest of jumbo Long Scarlet radishes and a few White Icicle radishes prompted me to do some experimenting.
Grilled Radishes and Chard Stems
I thickly sliced the roots on the diagonal and tossed them and some sliced thick juicy chard stems with some olive oil and stir fried them in the grill basket on the BBQ. Cooking mellowed the hotness of the radishes and D couldn't even tell what they were, just that they were good!
Radishes Grilled in Foil Packets
Took one especially large radish and thickly sliced it on the diagonal, closed it up in some heavy duty foil with some butter and fresh tarragon and put it on the BBQ. They were finished in 40-50 minutes (?), wasn't keeping track of time, but it was as long as it took to stir fry the radishes/chard stems and then indirectly roast some salmon on a plank. These were really tasty too.
The Long Scarlets had some beautiful leaves, slightly prickly, but still tender. Sliced those up and sauteed them with the leaves from the same chard (Peppermint Stick) plus some pitted halved cherries and garlic - used butter and olive oil. Finished with salt, pepper, and cherry balsamico. Good again, the radish leaves lost their prickle and heat. Delicious. Going to experiment with the fresh cherries again, add them later so they don't get too soft, but I love the sweet cherries in the mix.
