Spicy Pickled Radishes Recipe Whiskaffair

on Jan 28, 2021, Updated Dec 20, 2023 Here are some more radish recipes: Mooli Ki Sabzi, Mooli Raita, and Mullangi Sambar. I have a little vegetable garden in my backyard, and we got a bumper crop of red globe radishes this year. In the quest to preserve most of them, I pickled them like you would pickle onions or cucumbers. The result was great, and I have a new recipe to add to my pickles collection.

About Spicy Pickled Radishes

Looking for something that will add an instant twist to your recipes? Then it would be best to try these Spicy Pickled Radishes. Tangy, sweet, and spicy, this quick radish pickle is very easy to make, and you can use it everywhere you use pickled onions. I like it better than pickled onions as it does not overpower the flavors of other ingredients. This quick pickle is also a great way to use your leftover radishes. Pickled Radish is an instant pickle, and you can start using it as soon as you make it; there is no need to ferment it. I have met people who hate raw radish but still love pickled radish. Once mixed with red wine vinegar, salt, and honey, radish loses its bitter bite and mellows to sweet, salty, and sour pickle flavors. So, if you are one of those people, try pickling the radishes once; I am sure you will become a convert, too.

Serving Suggestions

Add pickled red radish to Tacos, Burgers, Wraps, Salads, Toast, Sandwiches, Vegetable Stir-Fries, and more. For Pickling – To pickle these radishes, you will need red wine vinegar, water, salt, honey, red pepper flakes, whole peppercorns, and whole garlic. You can replace red wine vinegar with white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Red pepper flakes and whole peppercorns give the pickle a lovely heat. Add a little honey for a hint of sweetness. For a vegan version, you can use maple syrup instead of honey. Whole garlic adds a nice flavor, too. Make sure to add whole garlic cloves and not chopped or crushed ones. Some people add mustard seeds to get that hint of mustard in the radish. Try adding ½ teaspoon mustard seeds for flavor change. Try adding sliced onions, carrots, and radishes for an interesting pickle combination. You can also add chopped Jalapeno if you like your pickle spicier. Slice the radishes into thin slices (1 mm) using a mandolin slicer or a knife. I like thin slices as they soak up the flavors well. Peel 5-6 garlic cloves and gather the remaining ingredients. In a measuring cup, combine the following ingredients.

½ cup red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 and ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes 7-8 whole peppercorns 5-6 peeled garlic cloves 1 cup of warm water

Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Pour this pickling mixture over your sliced radishes and let them sit for an hour. After an hour, cover the jar with a lid and store it in the fridge for up to a month. They are a great addition to cheese boards and make excellent food gifts. You can also use it to top cold summer soups. It is also used as a condiment in popular Korean, Chinese, and Japanese recipes.
