Dear Lanie J-

Can you cook radishes?

-Jamil

Dear Jamil,

You can totally cook radishes, but just FYI, they're also really good raw. More specifically, raw with cold butter and sea salt.

But your desire to cook something that you could very easily just cut in half and call a dish leads me to think you're a bit of an overachiever - or a suck up.

For the record: I love suck ups.

This one's for you, Jamil!

Stay easy,

-Lanie J

OK, let's do this:

Jamil's Spicy Radish Stir Fry
makes 2 servings
prep time 5 minues, cook time 5 minutes



1/2 t orange zest
Juice from 1/2 of that orange (zest it first, trust me)
pinch crushed red pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 T minced ginger
2 green onions, sliced
1 T soy sauce
1 t sesame oil

-----------------------

1 T olive oil
1 medium shallot, sliced thinly
1 handful of snow peas, sliced in half
1 small bunch of radishes, sliced thinly 
1 handful watercress, tough stems removed

Combine first group of ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a pan over med heat.  Add the shallots, snow peas and radish and sauté for 2 minutes.  Add the first group of ingredients and sauté for 2 more minutes.  Toss in the watercress and stir until wilted.
