Pan-Seared Radishes
Pan-Seared Radishes & Turnips
This recipe takes those slightly bitter radishes on a hot sear through some butter and oil. We then finish them with soy sauce and honey, for a salty-sweet finish. The radishes go from spicy to crispy and salty on the outside, but soft and sweet on the outside.
These are melt-in-your-mouth good. Yes, we are still talking about radishes!
This is one of our FIRST recipes we made during our outdoor cooking classes on Candelaria Organics. It was pretty fun to watch people go from radish-averse to radish-lovers. We challenge you with the same test!
These pair will with any proteins or grains!
Pan-Seared Radishes
Servings: 4 as side dish
Equipment
- 1 medium saute pan
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 pound radishes (about one bunch), cut down the middle from top to root. Leave some of the green stem on for a more rustic look.
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp soy sauce or miso paste
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup mint chopped
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan on medium-low heat, when heated add radishes cut side down.
- Let radishes cook for about 5-10 minutes. Add garlic about 5 minutes into cooking. Check on radishes by using a tong to flip over, and if they are golden brown on their flat, underside flip them. Let them cook just a few minutes of their rounded side.
- Remove radishes and garlic from the pan, and set aside.
- Turn off the heat and let the pan cool for about one minute.
- Add about ½ cup of water and mix it around. This will deglaze the
pan, or pickup the leftover flavors. ** Be careful when adding water, stand
back, as steam will come off the pan. - Add soy sauce and honey, and mix it into water. Add back in the radishes, mix until all radishes are coated in the sauce. If using miso paste, add a tbsp of water.
- Top with chopped mint and serve.
- Optional: Turn the heat back onto low, leave the radishes in the pan, and add the radish greens and cook until wilted and shrunk in size. If the pan is dry you can add a drizzle of oil or a splash of water.
