Easy Creamed Radishes
If you still have radishes on hand, this is a great dish to try. Steaming the radishes takes away any bitterness, leaving a sweet vegetable, more delicately flavored than carrots. Kids love radishes prepared like this!
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 large bunch red radishes, cleaned and thinly sliced
Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in milk. Heat to a boil and stir one minute. Meanwhile steam radishes to desired firmness, about 5 minutes. Fold sauce into steamed radishes and serve.
