Ideas needed for winter Rdish

[roitelet]

Just for an experiment I planted some winter Radish. Now I have these HUGE black roots which taste like ordinary radish but a bit stronger.

We have eaten some and given away lots. I don't want to waste them so would like some other ideas for serving then other than sliced in salad.

Any Suggestions?

Not much help, I'm afraid - we had them with hummus and then got fed up of eating them as they were huge and there's only so much you can eat.

We tried stir-frying, which was successful, and roating, which wasn't.

After loads of the things remaining uneaten last year, we weren't going to grow any this year, until SomeBeans found that some Chinese colleagues had been looking everywhere to buy them, but when they did come across them they were v. expensive. So now we are growing some for them, and they are teaching SomeBeans Chinese.

Hi
They're brilliant in soup, that's what I grow them for, substitute them for turnips in a mixed veg soup. They are so little trouble to grow and will stay in the ground all winter until needed, I didn't eat the last one till April last year.

'We ate them steamed as a root veggie last winter - my OH loved them and he's fussy about root veggies so it's a bit of a bonus.

Thanks for the suggestions all. Just got two rabbits who love them so they will get what we don' eat!

Hi
I also found giant turnip seeds on the Real Seeds site. Limousin. These are now growing rapidly, bigger than v large grapefruit at the moment. What with the winter radishes will not be short of soup ingredients this winter.
