Radish Surprise

While cleaning out my fridge I found I had a bunch of radishes I hadn't been able to find a use for.

I've never cooked with radishes before, and I don't think I've eaten them before either.

Hmm, they're nicely bite sized. I'm going to make appetizers out of them. Sort of like the buttercheese mushrooms, but with radishes. And I have panko now!

I started buying cheese in blocks because giant chunks of cheese are more fun than slices. I can slice them to little cheese wedges and drop them over the radishes.

Adding a line or two of olive oil.

Salt and pepper.

Panko!

And some more oil. I want it to be some kind of salad-appetizer hybrid and I don't want it to stick to the pan.

Now let's see how this fries!

I let the radishes sit in the oil for too long. They kind of soaked in the oil and got oily and got burnt cheese on them. The panko kind of dissolved into the cheese.

I used a paper towel to blot out all the oil.

And in the end, taking out the bits with burnt cheese on them, we have this!

Yeah, that's not very much. Um, they taste like, oily radishes, I guess? I haven't had radishes before so I can't say. The cheese didn't really stay on, so it's like fried oily radishes with pepper.
