Instead of using carb-loaded potatoes, radishes can provide a wonderful comforting side dish! Try these braised radishes delicately infused with nutty and tangy cumin and you may have a new favorite side dish.
Ingredients
- 20 medium radishes and greens, optional
- 1 tbsp (4 g) whole cumin seeds 2 tsp (5 g) cumin powder
- 1 cup (240 ml) homemade chicken or beef broth
- ¼ tsp unrefined sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 2 tbsp (28 g) butter
- 1 tsp lemon zest
How to Make It
- Wash the radishes and trim their ends.
- In a medium saucepan, toast the cumin seeds on medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the radishes, broth, salt and pepper to the pan, and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer on low heat with a closed lid until the radishes are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the radishes from the pot, and set aside the cooking liquid. Cut the radishes in quarters.
- In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. When hot, sauté the radishes until lightly browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Put the saucepan with the cooking liquid back on the stove and cook on high heat until the liquid reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Add the radish greens, if desired.
- Whisk in the butter with a wire whisk, then add the lemon zest. Serve the radishes warm, drizzled with the reduced butter sauce.
