Ripper radish sauce

  • Serves 4
  • Prep time: 10 mins0

Radish is a punchy little vegetable with its vibrant colour and peppery taste. I’ve made a little radish sauce that can be used either as a fire extinguisher on curry night, or as a great companion for grilled chicken and fish.

Ingredients

  • 6-7 small radishes (you need 1 cup grated radish plus extra slices to garnish)

  • 1 cup plain Greek-style yoghurt

  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and diced (leave out for a kid-friendly version)

  • ¼ cup finely diced shallot

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • small handful of coriander, finely sliced

  • small handful of mint, finely sliced

  • pinch of ground cumin

  • salt and pepper for seasoning

Method

  1. Grate the radish onto a clean tea towel.

  2. Gather up the corners, twist together and squeeze out all the moisture from the radishes. (If you don’t do this, the sauce will become very watery.)

  3. Place the squeezed radish in a large bowl and add all the remaining ingredients. Mix well and season to taste.

  4. Garnish with a little extra sliced radish, a drizzle of olive oil and you’re ready to go.
