Some people may find them weird, but I’m always open to trying things I may not have before, especially if it’s local produce. Thanks for the tips, valentina! I will keep in mind about pairing a little sweetness with bitter/spicy veggies. Mmm.

i’m amused that those vegetable are considered weird. it’s not such a small world after all. what’s considered normal where you are?
if you end up with rapini again, after blanching (I skip the ice bath) add a handful of white raisins or dried cherries while sauteing them. i like my bitters, but rapini are way too bitter, and it’s nice to find a raisin in the same bite to sofen the kick. you might like them that way better.
as far as the radishes. i’m not sure what french breakfast radishes are, but this is how we eat the little red radishes around here: wash and dip them in sugar and bite. dip in sugar, bite off some more, etc. i know it’s crazy, but the totally contrasting flavours are fun together. maybe you can try one of yours this way.
