Roasted Radishes with Anchovies
I absolutely adore radishes. They’re one of my favorite springtime treats here at Tumbleweed Farm. I prefer my radishes eaten straight up out of the field with a little dirt still on them. That crunch….it’s so damn good! However, as we’re still experiencing really cold and wet weather I wanted to turn to my other favorite method of eating radishes–roasted until caramelized and tender. I was inspired to pair the radishes with salty anchovies because of how much I love the miso-glazed radishes out of my cookbook. Miso is salty and I felt like the anchovies would add a nice salty kick. When roasted the radishes and anchovies mellow out a bit and this quick side dish has turned into a new favorite at Tumbleweed Farm. I tested the recipe out on our newest employees and the verdict was this– “Hot damn! Can you make these everyday this spring?” I’d say this recipe is a win. It’s a great side dish to bring to a dinner party or simply served as a happy hour snack with a few cold beers.
I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as we do. Cheers from Tumbleweed Farm
