I have a new favorite vegetable. During a trip to a local Farmers Market, I spotted these watermelon radishes a few weeks ago. I’ve been in love ever since with their vibrant Fuschia color and super mild flavor. I’ve been indulging my new love affair by adding them to salads and sandwiches. I’ll confess they are so good that the first time I roasted them with cauliflower, I ate the whole pan by myself. That was all I had for dinner.
I eat them for breakfast on toast with a sliced boiled egg. One slice is enough to cover a whole piece of bread. These beauties are 4 inches across. Farmer Fred’s favorite way to enjoy them is sliced with salt. If you can find them, go for it and buy them.
when do you put the umami in?
I use it as a flavor enhancer in savory dishes. Soups, casseroles, and on meat.
