Recipes using Radishes

[Valeriea]

Hi, I don't know much about radishes and was wondering if anyone had any recipes using them.?

Radishes uugghhhh - really ??

Only ever had them in salads when living at home, but always left them !

Same here, only used them in salads. Sorry

They are eaten eaten uncooked so reserved for salads. You can mix them in whatever mixed salad you're doing. Lots of people like them dipped in salt.

We've done this a number of times in mid-summer when the radishes are really coming on:

2 bunches medium radishes (such as red, pink, and purple; about 20)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450°F. Brush large heavy- duty rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Cut off all but 1/2 inch of green radish tops; reserve trimmed tops and rinse them well, checking for grit. Coarsely chop radish tops and set aside. Cut radishes lengthwise in half and place in medium bowl. Add 11/2 tablespoons olive oil and toss thoroughly to coat. Place radishes, cut side down, on prepared baking sheet; sprinkle lightly with coarse salt. Roast until radishes are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Season to taste with more coarse kosher salt, if desired.
Melt butter in heavy small skillet over medium-high heat. Add pinch of coarse kosher salt to skillet and cook until butter browns, swirling skillet frequently to keep butter solids from burning, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice.
Transfer roasted radishes to warmed shallow serving bowl and drizzle brown butter over. Sprinkle with chopped radish tops and serve. We've done the same thing with the longer "icicle" radishes as well and it works equally as well...
We sometimes add just a hint of garlic salt...

you can slice them and add them to stir fries. They are lovely as a side for cheese or served with an aperitif but you can't get them as hot as they used to be.

My Dad said he went over on D-day with a bunch of radishes to put the wind up Hitler, old jokes are the best.

When cooked the heat goes out of them, as in a stir-fry as woofgang suggests.
