… is definitely raw, dipped in salt.
^^ The Best Way to Eat Radishes ^^
My dad taught me this little trick years ago, when we were picking radishes in my Grammie’s garden. We also picked fresh cucumbers, and dipped them raw, in salt, as well. So many of my best memories are of my times spent outside in the garden, or running around the farm at my Grammie’s or at my great aunt and uncle’s place (all of them lived – still live – on farms).
The reason I am eating radishes is because my CSA share this week had:
- 1 bunch of radishes
- 1 celeriac (I am really not a fan… I am making it in soup right now, which hopefully will hide the flavor.)
- dried pop corn
- 2 pounds of white potatoes
- 2 garlic bulbs
- 1 cabbage
- 1 collard bunch
- 1 parsley
- 1 bunch of mizuna
- 3 gourds for decoration that I did not take! I don’t need any more clutter, especially not clutter that might go moldy.
I have the cabbage, garlic, parsley, celeriac, plus some of last week’s veggies (beets and leeks – maybe that is all?) simmering in a soup pot right now. Need to use them up, and no better way to down your veggies than in a pureed soup. I’ll pop it all in the Vitamix in a few minutes, and if it’s good, I will write up the recipe.
Note to self – you added salt & pepper, purple basil, and balsamic vinegar to the soup. It was delicious.
This post reminds me of Tamar Adler–have you read Everlasting Meal!! Such a good one.
@Jill: I haven’t! I will check it out.
Hi Maggie! I love radishes, but no one else will eat them but me – never thought to just dip them in salt! I love the peppery bite.
Hope you are having a great week!
@Biz: Yeah! I think you would like it. I want to try it with flavored salt sometime too. I bet seasoned salt would work well.
Agreed. Purchasing good-tasting radishes is a must as well.
@Alen: You are very right!
