Braised radishes
I happen to really like radishes, especially french breakfast radishes. I had a pound of radishes in the house and wanted to do something a little different, so I turned to my All About Braising cookbook. This recipe for braised radishes is pretty simple. Whole or halved radishes are combined with butter, a little bit of water or chicken stock, a pinch of sugar, salt and pepper. The radishes are spread in a single layer in a covered pot and braised over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes. The pot is uncovered and the liquid left over boils away to create a sweet buttery glaze. I finished the radishes with a sprinkling of maldon sea salt. Cooked radishes lose a lot of their sharp flavor and mellow out to taste almost like a turnip. This is a great side dish - it's unique without being complicated and very attractive too!

What an interesting way to prepare radish! I love them too. I put them in all my salads.
Honestly I've never had cooked radishes before, and this sounds really interesting!
I love using radishes in my stir fries. Gives a nice crisp bite. I've planted radishes in the garden for a fall crop. As soon as they're ready to pick, I'll try the braised.
Sounds great. I love the technique of braising. I really have to start doing it more often! :)
I never would have thought to braise radishes! I'm going to have to check out the rest of your braising recipes!
I would have love to have had this recipe when I was subscribing to a CSA in Philadelphia and found myself with more radishes than I could handle. I would never have thought to braise them. they look yummy!
Wow I've never had cooked radishes but I love the raw ones so I'll bet I would like them cooked I'll have to give them a try.
This sounds strange, but I don't think I've ever had a radish! It sure has great color though. I'll have to try this one of these days
