And now for something slightly different – Fried Radishes!

As some of you know well, I’m a big fan of radishes. So I chuck in a row whenever we’re planting any other type of seeds. But Bec’s not that keen on them at all. Which is a bit of a problem when we’re faced with a whole row that needs eatin’ in a hurry.

So today I thought I’d give frying them up a go to see what they’re like prepared that way. And to see if Bec could manage a couple that way too.

Quartered, fried gently in olive oil until almost soft, then sprinkled with Maldon salt. Beautiful. All the bitterness and most of the heat had been fried out, leaving something that tasted kind of, but completely unlike, a turnip.

So did Bec like them? Let’s say I had trouble getting the bowl and fork back off her. So yes, I think she did. I think we’ll be making a few more bowls of them for snacks. A good reason to keep planting more rows!
