RADISH SLAW

1 c. of trimmed and grated radishes & carrots
2 c. shredded cabbage
2 chopped spring onions
2 T. Olive Oil
2 T. Lemon Juice
1/2 t. sugar
2 t. mint, cilantro or parsley

In a bowl toss together the radishes, the cabbage, the carrots, the onion, the lemon juice, the sugar, the oil, the herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. This is also great with tangerine marmalade with mild vinegar and oil. (Well, if you haven’t already eaten all your marmalade.)

RADISH BUTTER
1/2 cube butter, room temperature
2 t. of lemon
Sprig of Mint
4 sprigs of Chives
1 T of parsley
3 Radishes, washed, trimmed & chopped

Beat the butter until smooth, add lemon juice, herbs. Spread on bread. Toss radishes on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper. I had this for breakfast once in France. It is so good, you'll have to make it twice. When radish season is over, you'll wish you could have it again. The secret to this great recipe is really fresh radishes.

PUMPKIN PUDDING - cut a square, top with square of chocolate and microwave for 30 seconds. (I like Equal Exchange, Milk Chocolate with a hint of hazelnuts...Leo likes the Theo dark chocolate with a hint of peppers.) Both are available at People and Planet.
