Radishes

The only thing that we’ve managed to harvest from our allotment is radishes.

All first time allomenteers grow radishes. Why? Because they grow quickly, require little attention and look quite cool.

Quite cool that is until you try and eat them. It’s then you realise (as I did) that you don’t like radishes, cannot give radishes away and know of no recipes that use radishes as an ingredient other than as a garnish.

I went to the BBC website and tired to find a radish recipe. (see results here) All I got was a number of salads that have radish in them.


So why does radish exist? Answers on a postcard.

Not sure what you expected of the humble radish. Perhaps you thought you and the family would be sitting down to a feast of those celebrated dishes, Radish Consomme, Stuffed Radish and Radish Crumble for pudding?

Here’s a Moroccan recipe - Jane Grigson pinched it from Claudia Roden. (I had that Claudia Roden in the back of my studio once when I worked for US National Public Radio, but I digress. Lovely woman.)

Slice radishes and oranges in smallish pieces andsprinkle with salt and lemon juice.
