My sister-in-law has put in a fall garden and it is doing WONDERFULLY well! I'm so glad she decided to start this little venture, because I'm also getting to reap her bountiful harvest!
One thing she planted was a ton of radishes because her dad loves them so. However, radishes grown in the hot South Louisiana (even in fall) tend to turn out a bit spicy! Even for the radish loving dad. She asked me if one could eat the greens. I didn't know, but turned to the Knower of all Knowledge - the internet! Yes, was the answer! I sent her a recipe and she sent me an enormous bag of radish greens! Then I couldn't find the original recipe, but I did come upon this recipe from Kalyn's Kitchen.
I didn't have any garlic at all, which is so unusual for this household, but I did have some Pampered Chef Garlic Oil, which worked wonderfully well. This Cajun didn't find the greens to be especially spicy, so next time I will double the sriracha sauce.
It took me forever to wash all the radish greens! She sent over an enormous bag! It took me two hours to wash all the greens, but less than two minutes to cook the recipe! It was delicious and I didn't find the radish greens to be bitter at all! Brooke and I devoured the recipe so fast and when I was downing the last bite I thought, "Oops!" No picture of the finished product for the blog! Trust me - it was good!
