Not just for salads. . .

So here I am, so excited to share a Foodie Friday blog with you! This is a great meme, hosted at designs by Gollum! Head on over using the link on my page and check out the other recipes everyone has shared!

Looking below you're thinking SALAD right? NOPE!! I'ts braised radishes! Quick, easy and really, really delicious. We belong to a CSA (community supported agriculture) which is what a co-op used to be. Every week we get our share of hydroponic, organically grown produce. We are in South Florida, so the growing season is October through May. This week we got some huge, beautiful red-top radishes and I just couldn't imagine eating that much salad so I tried something new.
I cut up the radishes, added garlic, black pepper and a little chicken broth and let them cook until tender. About 8 minutes.
I chopped the greens and added them last on top.
As they wilted I mixed it all together and splashed liberally with vinegar. I grabbed the first one in my cupboard which seriously happened to be this lovely champagne vinegar from a cooking lesson/gourmet restaurant & store in Natchez, Mississippi called High Cotton.
Here's the finished dish: It was really very tasty, I ate several spoonfuls before setting aside to join the rest of the meal! (in case you want to know it was chicken cacciatore with baby bell peppers- also a CSA item).
Thanks for visiting, I hope you try this dish, it was surprisingly easy and very unique!

  1. Hi Kerri! This dish really looks delicious. I wish I could have your talent (or is it a gift?) of mixing anything and adding whatever without measuring, and the dish always turns out perfect. Thanks for buying the dishes, I can't wait to see pictures....Christine
