Week 4: The Radish Harvest

Today, we harvested radishes from the Square Foot Garden. Check it out!



Needless to say, the kids loved it. Radishes...Go figure.



Now, what the heck do I do with 48 radishes that are supposed to go bad in about 5 days... Hrmmm?



It is kind of hard to find a good recipe that might taste good with radish as the main ingredient . I did find one recipe online for something called Lebanese Fatoosh. Radish is not the main ingredient, but it is in there. I modified the recipe a bit to make sandwiches instead of salads. Here's what I came up with.

Subterranean Mediterranean Vegetarian Pita



Servings: 6-8

Ingredients:
4 pita breads, halved and sliced open
6-8 radishes, diced
1 small bag of spinach leaves
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 of a red onion, diced or sliced thin
1 cucumber, diced
1 small container Feta Cheese Greek Olive Mix (from the HEB Olive Bar)
1 tbsp of Mediterranean Sea Salt Seasoning
4 tbsp light olive oil
4 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:
1. Combine all the veggies and seasonings into a bowl and toss evenly.
2. Toast the pita bread in a toaster after slicing.
3. Put the veggies into the pita bread.
4. Relax and enjoy.
