Serves 2-3Preparation: 4 minsCook: 6 mins

Caramelizing radishes, by slowly cooking them in a little butter and sugar is a wonderful way to pull flavour out of this unassuming and surprisingly versatile vegetable. This dish makes a really lovely accompaniment to a meat or fish dish. It also makes for a lovely warming snack.

Ingredients

Step by step

  1. Trim the radishes. Heat the butter in a pan, and when sizzling stir in the sugar, salt and the black pepper.
