Roasted Radishes With Anchovies
Serves 8
Ingredients
1 (80g) jar oil-packed anchovies, drained
cup plus 3 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
½ garlic clove, grated
2 bunches radishes with fresh greens (680g)
1 tbs unsalted butter
2 tsp chopped parsley
1½ tsp lemon juice, more to taste
Method
In a small saucepan over very low heat, combine anchovies and cup olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the anchovies have melted into the oil,
5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in
the garlic.
Clean the radishes thoroughly
under running water, leaving any nice greens attached if possible; drain and dry very well.
Leave the smaller radishes whole and halve any large ones lengthwise.
Heat the oven to 200°C. Heat a very large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil.
Add the radishes in a single layer. Cook, without moving, until undersides are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Flip the radishes and transfer skillet to oven. Cook until the radishes are tender enough to be easily pierced with a knife, about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the radishes.
Return the skillet to the stove and
put the stove on medium-high heat.
Toss with the anchovy oil, butter, parsley and lemon juice.
Serve warm.
