Buy red radishes that are firm with crisp
leaves. If at all possible, buy moolis or daikons which still have their
leaves; this is a good indication of their freshness as they wilt
quickly. The leaves should be green and lively and the skins clear with
no bruises or blemishes. They can be stored in the fridge for a few
days.
Preparing and Serving - Red radishes need
only to be washed. They can then be sliced or eaten whole by themselves
or in salads. You can make a feature of them by slicing into a salad of,
say oranges and walnuts, perhaps with a scattering of
rocket and dressed
with a walnut oil vinaigrette. To use moolis in a stir-fry, cut into
slices and add to the dish for the last few minutes of cooking. They add
not only flavor but also a wonderfully juicy and crunchy texture.
