I think this dish is best cooked a lot longer than the time suggested.

This recipe ROCKS !! I love radishes and I've never cooked them before. They have the texture of a mini potato and they taste marvelous !! Put the cooked contents on your plate and 2 fried eggs (or any type of egg) on top of them ;)

Gail - I parboil the radishes for 10 minutes, and then dry them, before frying them. They will not soften enough to be enjoyable by just frying.

This is delicious, but my radishes faded and turned everything pink. There wasn't moisture to speak of, so I'm not sure why this happened. Maybe I need to turn up the heat... I think next time I'll fry things separately and combine. :)

Agreed! I think I will parboil them first as well. Have been frying them for 25 minutes now. While they ave a lovely golden colour, they are still hard in the centre. Taste delicious though😊

A few minutes after adding radishes/garlic, I added a lid to the cast iron pan for about 10 mins to soften radishes. I thought the recipe was great, but if you like soft radishes then definitely parboil or steam radishes first. If you prefer crunchy radishes, follow recipe exactly. To each their own preference :)

I would strongly suggest moving the bacon prior to braising the radishes. If not, the bacon turns into very crunchy bacos. Flavor was very good will definitely make again with this alteration

This is in my top 10 DD recipes! I absolutely love radishes, but never seem to incorporate them when I'm in a keto cycle.
Great breakfast item that I can add some eggs and hot sauce to spice up.
