While taking a walk last evening with Michael, my husband, and Alexis, our 22 month old granddaughter, we came upon a neighbor’s home that she refused to pass without visiting.  Well, Miss Carolyn was not at home, out golfing with the girls, but Mr. Tim was home and invited her to come and check out how his garden was coming… so visit we did.

Tim wondered what might we do with some radishes that had become as big as BEETS!  I told him, no fear, that they were perfect for sautéing!  With a quizzical look   he pulled them up and deposited them into a plastic bag for me to take home… if I wanted them they were mine.  Taking them home I simply washed them up, cut them into about 3/8″ thick slices, and simply sautéd them with some butter, and simply seasoned them with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste!  I cannot begin to tell you how they taste when cooked… you know, like a cooked carrot tastes nothing like a raw one…. like that… nothing like a raw radish and more like a nutty, cabbage flavor.   They make an absolutely wonderful side dish.  BUT think to cool them down and add them to a fresh salad, into a pasta salad, or even a potato salad.
