feeling all foody…
I mentioned that I would post photos of the veggie burgers and a review of the buttery radishes from Clinton Kelly’s book, so here goes. (And this is two toward my 101 in 1001 goal of trying and reviewing new recipes.)
I love radishes. I love that they’re spicy and crunchy. A little bit of salt & they’re perfect. And the recipe for these sounds amazing, improved by how simple they are.
Cut the top and bottom off the radishes so they’ll sit flat on the plate. Shmear butter on the tops and sprinkle with a nice, coarse salt.
I wanted to like these. I wanted to like them a lot. I didn’t like them. They weren’t bad, but they weren’t good. They were just odd, frankly. The smoothness of the butter should have been a nice compliment to the spicy radish, but it seemed more like two competing tastes in my mouth.
That said, I’ll try this again. I mean, it’s not like it’s difficult to shmear some butter and salt on top of a radish. Maybe it’s an acquired taste. I’ll keep trying, though the kids, I’m sure, won’t touch them.
The veggie burger, however, is one that we’re going to keep having. I love it. And I’m finding that as long as you use the basic recipe, you can add in whatever veggies and herbs you want to change the flavor ever so slightly.
In the burger in the picture, I used lots of shredded carrots and topped the burger with diced tomatoes. Laughing Cow swiss cheese spread on the whole wheat English muffin just adds to the creamy mouth feel of the burger (thanks to the beans).
Yum.
