Grilled Radishes. RADISHES?

We recently had the awesome opportunity to join a farm co-op through our friend Michelle's job at the Center For Discovery. The Center is a mostly residential school for highly special needs students. They have a working organic farm that people are allowed to pay into to receive produce and we decided to split it with Michelle and Mike this year. This will lead us into having some very strange new things to eat - exciting!

Tonight we needed to figure out what to do with the radishes we got. Nikki and I don't really like radishes cold in salad or stand-alone. I found this website for a great grilled radish recipe. Check out the link above: I made some of my alterations listed here below...

* 20 ounces radishes, sliced
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
* 1 cube ice
* salt and pepper to taste, dash paprika, dash onion powder
* 1 whole shallot, sliced thin.

Directions

1. Preheat the grill for high heat.
2. Place everything on a double layer of aluminum foil large enough to wrap contents. Season with salt and pepper. Tightly seal foil around contents.
3. Place foil packet on the grill, and cook 20 minutes, or until radishes are tender.

They taste kind of like cooked cabbage, but much sweeter. Spice/season to taste!
