Units
Scale
- 2 bunches of radishes, quartered, stemmed and leaves reserved if possible
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- One tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Pesto Ingredients:
- 2 cups radish leaves or other greens, washed and stems removed
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup walnuts, raw (or other nuts of your choice)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Prior to cooking the radishes, place all of the pesto ingredients in a blender or food processor.
- Process until a smooth consistency is achieved. Make sure to slowly pour in the olive oil while blending to evenly emulsify. Set the pesto mixture aside.
- In a large pan, melt the butter on medium high heat. Add the radishes and onion, sautee for 5-7 minutes until radishes are lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the radishes with 1/2 cup pesto mixture at a time until evenly coated. (You will likely have extra pesto).
- Evenly distribute the coated radishes to plates and top with the feta cheese and chives.
Notes
If you prefer radishes without the pesto, top them with your favorite cheese and/or fresh herbs!
