It ’s harvest twenty-four hour period !
revelation : If you shop from my article or make a purchase through one of my link , I may invite deputation on some of the products I commend .
And I could n’t be more emotional about the season ’s first H.M.S. Bounty , myAka Karaine loanblend radishfrom Kitazawa Seed Company .
A few things drew me to this Japanese radish when I first corrupt the seeds : the vibrant color , the spiciness of the radish plant , the fact that the entire plant ( rootandleaves ) is edible , and it also stash away for long periods of time in the fridge . I imagined slice it into my salad and coleslaw , scrape it into my ramen , pickling it for sandwich . Yummmmm !
I have a special place in my pith for these radishes . They were the very first germ I sow upon moving into the new house , and every sidereal day I watched them mature like a lofty mama ; I even showed them off to visit friends to point out that , yes , something was actually fly high under my forethought ! The seedling germinate within days and have been run strong ever since September .
One of my first kitchen concoction with the Aka Karaine harvest time was potato and radish leaf soup . savor the recipe below !
( And by formula , I say that very loosely ; I am terrible at write recipes since all my measurement and times are eyeball and guesstimated . I also feel that cooking is very much subjective , so while I like to add extra garlic or onion to most of my recipe , I ’m sure others could do without . That said , please modify this recipe to your liking ! )
