Fried Radishes with Garlic Greens
Both parts of this side-dish are great by themselves. The frying cooks out most of the pepper taste of the radishes, and makes them far more like a potato. So this is like crispy potatoes with a slight twist. They are a healthier option than fried potato too. Which means you can eat more... bonus!
The spiciness of radishes is mostly in the skin. Peel them if they are too strong. Personally I love the spice.
RECIPE BELOW:
Wash your radishes thoroughly as they can be gritty.
Remove the leaves & keep.
Slice the radishes into thick slices (5-10m), and fry in 2tbs olive oil until crispy. Season & Eat. Delicious! Or if you wait...
The leaves can be eaten too. They are slightly bitter, so are often mixed with other leaves for salads, or can be lightly cooked.
If cooking, combine them with some other greens (Chard/spinach etc) to bulk them out. Slice any greens your using into thin shreds as the radish leaves will take hardly any time.
To cook them, get 2tbs oil in a hot pan. Add 1 sliced garlic clove & fry for 30secs until brown but not burnt! Remove the garlic from the oil and discard.
Then stir-fry your leaves/greens for 60-90secs, stirring well all the time. Some greens will be tougher than others, so it may need a little more time. Check by eating the thickest stem you can find. If done, toss with a little lemon juice, sea salt & black pepper.
Serve your greens with your fried Radishes.
Beautiful with a grilled fish.
