Time 20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

40 radishes (green tops optional)
3 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, diced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • If radish tops are intact and in good condition, trim off (leaving a short length of stem attached to radish), wash and set aside. Leave small radishes whole, and cut large ones in half.
  • In a medium-size pot melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots and thyme, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add radishes, a sprinkling of salt and pepper and just enough water to cover radishes. Bring to a simmer, and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. If using, add radish tops, and simmer 1 minute more.
  • Remove radishes (and tops, if using) to a serving dish, and boil liquid in pot until reduced to about 1/3 cup. Stir in remaining tablespoon butter, season to taste with salt and pepper, and pour over radishes. Garnish with thyme leaves, and serve.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my radishes didn't turn out as tender as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The radishes were a bit tough. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

Not bad, but not my favorite. I think I prefer radishes roasted or raw.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the radishes were cooked perfectly. I'll try making it again with a different sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of radishes, but this dish changed my mind. The braising process really brought out their sweetness and flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The radishes were perfectly tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory. I served it over rice, and it was a perfect meal.
