Simple Radish Recipes

There is an age old way of enjoying fresh radishes from the garden. You simply make these very English looking bread and butter, radish sandwiches. A hearty bread is a must.

Another twist on this is to make a spread with butter, radishes, and lemon, which works well on bread or crackers. The proportions I used were: 1/4C butter, 1/4C radishes and 1 tsp. of lemon zest. Whir it all together in a small food processor, and thin with a little lemon juice if needed. Truly yummy!
These recipes will hopefully give you some ideas about how to use produce from your garden or farmer's market. There are also other recipes that are simply here because they are our favorites, or someone made a request at the last church lunch! I'd like to encourage you to alter these recipes to suit your own tastes, your family's needs, and to use what you have on hand. Therefore, some of my recipes will not have exact measurements. So...if any of the recipes leaves you scratching your head, just send me an email and I'll try to answer your question. HappyGrowing@eatingfromthegarden.com
