I'm not a picky eater, consequently I usually like the new foods I've been trying every since I started this cooking journey. Even foods I had bad experiences with have now found a way onto my 'like' list. Radishes have not yet been successful in making this breakthrough.
I can't say that I hate radishes, I'll eat them if I get them in my CSA share for the week. But trying to figure out how to cook them is a chore for me. The best recipe I managed to come up with was a version of dirty rice where I basically hid the radishes in the rice. I couldn't taste the radishes at all and that made me very happy.
Other than that, I have cut them up to use raw in salads. Braised them in wine, which improved the taste of the vegetable but I couldn't eat the lot of them until I covered them in creme fraiche. I'm still searching for a great recipe for radishes that I will enjoy, but I suppose there are worse things than eating dirty rice every time these appear in my CSA.
I do hope I find many uses for them because their long shelf life really make them handy to keep around. And of course they have their own health benefits as all vegetables do. They are definitely worth trying to find a way to incorporate them into my diet, even if I have to disguise them. I think I have just begun to learn with this vegetable.
