PICKLED RADISHES

radishes
Serves 4 as a side

1 bunch radish, tops removed and cut in half 2 Tbsp salt

Pickling mix
3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar Pinch of sugar 1 chilli, sliced in half, seeds removed and cut finely 5 basil leaves, finely sliced 1 tsp black and white sesame seeds (if possible) 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

Method

To begin mix the radishes with the salt and place over a colander or sieve to remove excess moisture – if possible leave for 1 hour. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

Place the radishes in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine.  Let sit for at least 30 minutes but ideally longer so that the radishes soak up the flavours.

These are great as a pre-dinner snack and you can add other vegetables if desired!
