Fried Root Greens with Radishes

Author Notes

How about those radishes? What do you do with these come harvest time? Personally, I totally love them raw….right out of the ground (washed of course) and chomp chomp…..bam that spicy heat just gets me every time…it’s SOOO addicting! This recipe has a whole other style because it cooks the radishes and uses the green tops; the fancy name is fried root greens with radishes.

Now if you are both a gardener and a farmers market attendee, these roots are in full swing and you can quickly be inundated with them so maybe some other ways to prep are in the works and much needed in your repertoire of recipes!

First time I had blistered radishes I fell in total love…..then I had them roasted and fell in love again. I guess it’s sorta like having a romance renewal with your husband……falling in love different ways, all the time…..

Anyway, both blistering and roasting takes that “edge” off of the radish. While I LOVE that flavor and that addictive “hit”, sometimes it just works to have them prepared in a way that complements great seasonal proteins and other root veggies.

This recipe of fried root greens with radishes is ridiculously easy and I serve it often with grilled lamb chops or braised lamb breast but it would totally work with a wonderful grilled flank steak, pork loin chop, or roasted whole chicken…your choice or come up with your own pairing……that’s half the fun anyway, isn’t it?

So while there is an abundance of these, try out some different recipes and give this one a shot and if you have a little dash of some WONDERFUL aged balsamic vinaigrette, even more of a reason to experiment! —Eatentions
