I’ve heard radishes are the only vegetable you don’t cook, but a cookbook from the 1950s disagrees. Green beans and wax beans round out this dish. —Pam Kaiser, Mansfield, Missouri

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound fresh green or wax beans, trimmed
1 cup thinly sliced radishes
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

Directions

In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add beans; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender.
Add radishes; cook 2-3 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in sugar and salt; sprinkle with nuts.

Editor's Note

To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Pleasant surprise! I've seen many recipes for roasted radishes, this one sounded interesting. It was delicious, and healthy! I saut?ed mine leaving some crunch. A great recipe to utilize a vegetable that only seems to make it to a raw veggie tray.

I plan on making these for lunch. I have roasted radishes with olive oil and garlic and they are excellent, so I suspect these will be as good! I'll use olive or sesame oil instead of butter though.
