Braised Radishes Recipes

BRAISED RADISHES

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1 pound (2 bunches) trimmed, quartered radishes and 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Add 1/3 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Partially cover and simmer until almost tender, 5 minutes. Uncover; cook, stirring, until most of the liquid evaporates. Season with lemon juice and chopped tarragon.

BRAISED RADISHES

Steps:

• Wash and trim radishes, if large cut them in half.
• Add radishes to a deep pan, add enough water to cover them.
• Add the butter, olive oil, sugar and salt.
• Cover and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, covered for 12 minutes. (radishes should be tender and the liquid reduced to a glaze)
• If the radishes are cooked before the liquid has reduced then remove the radishes and cook liquid, uncovered until it thickens to a glaze.
• Toss the radishes in the glaze, sprinkle with the pepper and parsley and serve.

BRAISED RED RADISHES

Steps:

• If radish tops are intact and in good condition, trim off (leaving a short length of stem attached to radish), wash and set aside. Leave small radishes whole, and cut large ones in half.
• In a medium-size pot melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots and thyme, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add radishes, a sprinkling of salt and pepper and just enough water to cover radishes. Bring to a simmer, and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. If using, add radish tops, and simmer 1 minute more.
• Remove radishes (and tops, if using) to a serving dish, and boil liquid in pot until reduced to about 1/3 cup. Stir in remaining tablespoon butter, season to taste with salt and pepper, and pour over radishes. Garnish with thyme leaves, and serve.

BRAISED TURNIPS AND RADISHES

Steps:

• Peel vegetables, or not; quarter turnips if necessary to make them about same size as radishes. Put in saucepan with pinch of salt, butter or oil, and water to come up about halfway to their height. Cover and turn heat to medium-high.
• Simmer until vegetables are just about tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until vegetables are shiny and glazed with their juices. Add more salt if necessary and serve hot.
