Ingredients

1 large bunch of radishes (at least 20) with their leaves on (If you can't find radishes with good fresh leaves, then substitute a bunch of arugula)

2 TBSPS (25 ml) butter

1/2 cup (125 ml) orange juice (fresh-squeezed is always best)

Salt and freshly ground black or white pepper, to taste

Directions

Remove the leaves from the radishes (or, alternately, use arugula) and wash them well. Toss the leaves into a hot frying pan and stir-fry quickly, until leaves are limp and dark green. Tip them into a sieve and rinse them under cold water, squeeze them dry, and then chop them finley. Reserve.

Wash and trim the radishes, then cut them into quarters. Bring a saucepan of water tot he boil, add salt and drop in the radishes. Blanch them for about 1 1/2 minutes, then drain and refresh them under cold running water.

In a large frying pan, melt the butter. Add the blanched radishes, the leaves (or arugula), and the orange juice (and, Grand Marnier if using). Bring just to a boil, stirring to coat everything. Lower the heat and cook until just hot through.

Season with additional salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

NOTE: I use a LOT of pepper on mine, personal preferrance only. BUT -- I have also made this using the arugula instead of the radish greens, at which time I have cut the pepper way back (arugula IS peppery, and you want that flavour to come through too).

Does cooking it calm the taste? I like raddishes, however, they tend to be on the "hot" side. I guess I should try this and find out.

Hi, MsManser, and thanks for dropping by...Yes, cooking DOES clam the flavour quite a bit, and you can use less pepper if you choose (though, that's a totally different kind of heat...)
Radishes are so good for you that everyone should eat them more often :)
