Pickled Radish Recipe
Early Spring is the season for radishes since they are typically some of the first vegetables that come out of the garden in the Spring. In fact, radishes take approximately 30 days from seed to harvest which makes them one of the fastest growers around! So, with radishes being in season, I have a ton in my refrigerator which are ready to eat. One of the best ways to enjoy radishes is to pickle them and use them on tacos! (Guess what we will be cooking up next?!?) This pickled radish recipe is super quick and will last for a long time in your refrigerator which makes them perfect for experimentation!
Quick Pickled Radishes
The process of quick pickling is one that I really enjoy because it is simple and–well–quick. For this pickled radish recipe you only need 5 ingredients: radishes, apple cider vinegar, raw sugar (or regular will do fine too), salt, and water. Just mix the mixture together and add to your chosen jar or vessel. Then add the radishes until your jar is full. Let sit for 1 hour on the counter, then refrigerate for use on your next recipe which needs a hint of pickled radishes!
Slicing Radishes for Pickling
The hardest part of this recipe is thinly slicing the radishes. For that job, I tend to either use a mandolin or I will do it with a knife. If you choose to slice with a knife, the best way to keep the radish stable while you are cutting is to shave off a flat side, place that side onto the cutting board, and slice the radish that way. This eliminates just one more variable when trying to avoid cutting yourself!
What Kind of Radishes?
Until a few years ago, I did not realize the variety that existed in the radish family. They can be mild, spicy, round, long, great for roasting, etc. As I developed my gardening knowledge, I realized there is a plethora of varieties! So for this recipe, I will tell you I used a pretty run-of-the-mill globe variety. These are the typical radish found in your grocery store labeled as radishes. However, if you wanted to experiment with others for this recipe, go for it!
