This past weekend at the farmers' market I found some fantastic-looking, gigantic, organic radishes that I just had to try. Radishes are awesome- they are beautiful vegetables, they come in a variety of colors and sizes, they are deliciously tangy, crunchy and spicy, and did I mention they are packed with vitamin C? Check these babies out:
Now I have only ever tried eating radishes raw, but I keep hearing that radishes are also really great roasted. So while the heat isn't working in my house tonight, I thought it would be a great night to turn on the oven, circulate some heat in the kitchen and roast my radishes! And let me tell you- you have never tasted radishes unless you have had them roasted! The roasted really brings out the sweetness of the radishes- so delicious! To accompany my radishes, I was really in the mood for some fish, so I took out some frozen Mahi-mahi filets I had bought from Trader Joe's a while back and tossed those into the oven as well. And there's a yummy, colorful and healthy dinner on the table in about 30min- love it!
For the radishes:
2 large radishes (or about 1lb smaller radishes)
1 tblsp olive oil
salt/pepper
For the Mahi-mahi:
2 filets of mahi-mahi (fresh or frozen, whatever you have)
1 tblsp olive oil
salt/pepper
fresh lemon juice
herbs (I used fennel frawns- sneak peak for tomorrow's recipe!)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to about 400 degrees.
2. Wash and chop the radishes into bite-size pieces and spread on a cookie sheet
3. Cover with olive oil, salt and pepper and put in second rack in oven
4. Put fish filets in a baking dish, cover both sides with olive oil and salt/pepper, and put in top rack in the oven.
5. Stir the radishes a couple of times- they are done once they are soft and nicely browned, about 30min
6. The fish will take about 15min- just until its cooked through.
7. Once the fish is cooked, top with lemon juice and herbs. Serve with the roasted radishes!
