Wondering what to do with all of those daikon radishes in your CSA this week?
Daikon radishes make a great substitute for onions. You can dice them and use as you would onions in most recipes. Onions are one of the most common triggers for people with digestive problems. If you are cooking for someone who is sensitive to onions, this radish will likely be better tolerated while still adding a nice flavor. This cool weather is a perfect time to caramelize it after dicing into cubes to start off a pot of your favorite chili.
Some of our organically grown daikon also comes in a purple variety – a wonderful and colorful addition to your plate.
Let us know what you made with your radish in the comments!
