Pickled Radishes

Pickled Radishes

One of my favorite early crop vegetables from the garden would have to be the radish. The spring radish has an especially tender texture and mild peppery flavor that is only found this time of year. Often we only think about the radish sliced on a salad or on a platter of crudités, but this cruciferous treat has other delicious applications. If you are a radish fan, roasted radishes are tremendous, if you have not tried them you certainly need to add them to your “to do” list. A new favorite of mine is the pickled radish. The combination of the brine with the peppery goodness of the radish, creates an amazing flavor sensation. Fantastic served on crostini, as a topping on a salad, in a sandwich, or as a complement to fish, the pickled radish will add an explosion of flavor to your table.

Cooks Notes

Any vegetable can be pickled in this manner. Vegetables with high fiber content work best.

You can also adjust the brine to your personal taste by increasing or decreasing the sugar or salt.
