How many radishes can you eat? I could eat one or two raw, maybe a few more in a salad, but the sting of a raw radish isn't something I appreciate.
With more radishes coming from the garden than any two people really needed, I looked for something different to try. These sauteed radishes are mellow and sweet and caramelized and don't really taste like radishes at all! Next year I won't sigh as my gardener brings in handfuls of radishes - most of them will be going into the frying pan!
Sauteed Radishes adapted from Martha Stewart
10 radishes, halved or quartered depending on size
3 T butter
1/4 cup water
salt and pepper
freshly chopped parsley
Melt butter in a frying pan and saute radishes until browned. Add water and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and parsley. Serves 2.
Here in the Heartland, it is either feast or famine with radishes! What a novel idea to use during the feast season!
ReplyDeletethey look great!! next time i buy radishes ill give this recipe a try!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing!!
My goodness those look good. I've heard of this before but never tried it. I don't have radishes in my garden, but I'm going to grab a bunch at the store today.
ReplyDeleteNow, this is new to me! I did not even think about preparing radishes! I am going to have to try this. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious! I love radishes but never thought of sauteing them! This reminds me of how my brother loves radish sandwiches. Bread, butter and sliced radishes. Martha rules with this one!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! I've never heard of this and I'm from Texas where they fry anything! Thanks for sharing this - they look delicious.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting...never would have thought of it! My husband grew some radishes this year and were a variety that was so hot, I didn't enjoy them at all!
ReplyDeleteI love radish when its been pickled and mixed with papaya shreds. It goes well with grilled meat as side dish. This is awesome too. Thanks for sharing this recipe. If you wont mind I'd love to guide Foodista readers to your post. Just add the foodista widget to the end of this post so it will appear in the Foodista pages and it's all set, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhen I make these (and I will) it will be all in the name of love for hubby. I'm not a huge radish fan but he is.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to saute the radishes! Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKaren: I'm happy to be reminded just how good sauteed radishes can be. I've done them years ago (when we had a bumper crop) and will do so soon. The radishes at our farmers' market are beautiful and it's fun to serve them to people who are usually surprised when they find out what they are.
ReplyDeleteBest,

Well now isn't this interesting. I slice radishes in a salad because they're crunchy and they look pretty, but I agree, don't eat alot because of that sting. Never ever thought about cooking them.
ReplyDeleteI have never thought about cooking radishes, it sounds really good.....who knew!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could cook radishes this way, so I've learned something new! I've only eaten them raw, so this will be fun to try....thanks Karen.
ReplyDeleteInteresting!!! I would never have thought to do this .... thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh! Never thought in sauteeing radish...love the color and the simplicity of this dish. Great picture!
ReplyDeleteI don't like raw radishes at all, but the beautiful browning you've got on these tells me that they have to be good!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoy your blog. I live in Havre and it is nice to see others who enjoy cooking as well. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom grew radishes each year when we lived in MN. Your recipe looks so good. I will need to try this.
ReplyDeleteLove reading posts that bring back memories for me. :)
Here's how sheltered my palate has sometimes been. I had never before considered that radishes might be cooked. Huh. I've never much cared for them, but perhaps cooked they would be quite different.
