Daikon Porridge

Published at In Category Daikon Radishes, Recipes Tags: , , , ,

I’ve been coveting a daikon and doing a little research and this recipe seems so simple and delicious, I can’t wait to try it. Basically it’s just rice, daikon and salt. Just the ticket if you’re feeling under the weather. And good news is that the daikon will keep, wrapped maybe in a damp dish towel, in your refrigerator for a month or two so if you don’t feel like porridge now, it will be waiting for you when you do. The recipe calls for daikon greens and sprouts so we’ll have to be creative, or wait and see if another bunch of radishes with their greens shows up in one of the last few boxes.

Grated Carrot Salad

Diamond Hill Farm sells at the Morningside Farmers Market and they suggested this salad “Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables” by Joshua McFadden’s cookbook. You could substitute pecans for the walnuts, of course, and I’m going to buy all the Georgia pecans I can find this year to help support those farmers who lost so many pecan trees in this crazy hurricane season.

Chile-Crisp Tofu, Tomatoes and Cucumbers

Adapted from the New York Times.

The note from Ali Slagle that accompanied the recipe: “With cucumbers, tomatoes, browned tofu and a punchy dressing, this recipe’s combination of hot, cold, juicy and snappy makes for a refreshing lunch or light dinner. Inspired by Chinese smashed cucumber salads, many of which include dried chiles or chile oil, this recipe’s piquant and spicy dressing uses chile crisp as well as lemon juice, raw garlic and soy sauce. The only cooking that’s required is searing the tofu, which helps it drink up more of the dressing. Eat it over rice or salad greens, and feel free to embellish with thinly sliced snap peas or celery, cilantro and sesame oil, seeds or paste.”
