Why We Love This Quick Pickled Radishes Recipe
I adore the fresh flavor and spicy crunch of raw radishes. These root vegetables are fabulous on their own, but this Pickled Radish recipe really takes the deliciousness up several notches! Pickling radishes is super easy. There is no touchy canning process, and although it is best to refrigerate them for a day before enjoying them, the steps could not be any simpler… You slice the radishes, boil the brine, and pour it into the jars. After chilling in the fridge these mildly tart and crisp radishes are great for a summertime snack or to add to other dishes like sandwiches, tacos, and much more!
Ingredients You Need
Radishes – fresh, firm and unblemished Apple cider vinegar – for a tart but lightly sweet brine (or sub white vinegar) Sugar – granulated white sugar is best Canning & pickling salt – or kosher salt Garlic – peeled but left whole Black peppercorns – also left whole Dried crushed rosemary – or fresh and minced
How to Pickle Radishes
Set out 3 one-quart jars. Slice the radishes as thinly and evenly as possible. This is a great time to use a mandolin slicer, just be extra careful and watch your fingers! Once the radishes are all sliced, fill the jars with radish slices. Place 3 garlic cloves in each jar, followed by 2 teaspoons of peppercorns, and 1 teaspoon of crushed rosemary. Set a medium saucepot over high heat. Add the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and pickling salt to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil. Once the pickling liquid is boiling hot, carefully pour it over the radishes. Fill each jar up to ½-inch from the top. Screw the lids on tight while the pickling liquid is hot, and shake to distribute the herbs and spices. Allow the jars to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate the quick pickles for at least 24 hours before serving.
What to Do with Pickled Radishes
Chilled pickled radishes are a delicious and refreshing summer snack… Either by themselves right out of the jar, or included on charcuterie boards and party plates! They are terrific cold toppings on Shredded Chicken, spicy Barbacoa Tacos, or Vietnamese Bahn Mi Street Tacos. Or load them onto sandwiches like Pan con Pollo (chicken stew sandwiches), Bahn Mi sandwiches, Sesame Chicken Burgers, and Summer Garden Dogs. And radish pickles add a great kick of taste and texture to salads, such as this 9-Layer Asian Salad, Roasted Beet and Radicchio Salad, and Israeli Chopped Salad! You can also serve slices of radish as a fresh garnish for all kinds of warm and savory main dishes, like:
Pozole Verde de Pollo (chicken posole), Pozole Rojo (red pork posole), or Pozole Blanco (white hominy soup) Teriyaki Bowls with Chicken Korean Fried Chicken Salmon Sushi Bake Raw seafood dishes like Hamachi Crudo, Aguachile Verde, Salmon Tartare, and Ahi Poke Bowls
