ROSY RADISH HOME FRIES
From: Linda @ www.genaw.com/
If you can get past the pink color, these taste amazingly like fried potatoes. The covered cooking helps to soften them a bit before the browning stage. I covered mine for 5 minutes and they still had a little crunch so 10 minutes might be better.
Ingredients:
16 ounces radishes, washed, dried and trimmed*
1 small onion, diced, 2 1/2 ounces (optional)
3 to 4 slices of bacon, reserve grease
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Boil radishes until just tender soft.
Drain and let cool until easy to handle.
Quarter the smaller radishes and cut any larger ones into eighths.
Heat the butter and bacon grease in a medium skillet; add the radishes and onions if using.
Cover the pan and turn heat to low.
Let cook for 5-10 minutes.
Uncover, turn heat to medium and cook until nicely browned, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add cooked crumbled bacon.
Stir and serve hot.
* I have learned that you need to boil the radishes, just until soft, drain and let cool until you can cut them. Then fry and that takes the "sauerkraut" taste out of the radishes. So, I added that to the instructions.
