This is the first year we've grown radishes in our garden, and suddenly we're up to our ears in them!
Are there any good recipes you know that use these buggers?
Can I freeze them for later use?
Help!

I too am wondering about a radish relish - I wonder if you could pickle it?

Thanks so much, everyone! I never thought of putting radishes in roast beef sandwiches, and I'm intrigued by the radish relish. Unfortunately, my husband is not too fond of radishes -- I'll just have to find a way to sneak them into dinner! I'll use these things up yet! |

We are overrun with radishes too this year! I don't really eat them too much, but luckily my husband loves them, so he helps get rid of them pretty quickly. I think I saw some recipes for Radish Relish in my Yahoo canning group, so if you want me to look for them I can. Not really sure what it involves. Aimee has a good idea about marketing them to restaurants, you could make some nice bonus money! Good luck with the rest of your veggies! |

I LOVE radishes, I wish we were neighbors. I love them in potato salad and pasta salads too. They also make good additions to sandwiches. I am a vegetarian so I would make a mixed shredded medley of radish, carrot, celery and some spinach leaves topped off with hummus in a pita. But I have heard that radishes are delightful in sandwiches with roast beef.

I like to shred or slice thin and put in cloeslaw and chicken salad. It gives a fresh punchy flavor. I don't think you can freeze them and keep the integrity of the texture. Take some to local diners and restaruants. Have the managers try them then tell them how refreshing the diners would think the food to find some as a garnish on the plate. Sell them by the pound, or the bunch. Wash, but don't trim. I bet you could get rid of the extras quickly.
