black radish


This week Hendrik brought home a root veggie i am completely unfamiliar with, Black Radish. After some googling around i found out that they are a great winter source of Vitamin C and they encourage healthy digestion. Once peeled they can be eaten raw like normal red radishes, or cooked like a parsnip.


with my black radishes i made a fresh raw winter salad of curly cabbage, purple carrots, pomegranites and sprouted lentils, with a simple vinaigrette. it was great and the mix of flavours and the spicy radish taste didnt overwhelm the other ingredients.


the black radish salad played a really colorful role in tonights meal which i cooked for some friends. traditional skillet potatoes, simple steamed broccoli, and maple marinated seitan with pinto beans.
