Ingredients

  • 1 cup radishes, trimmed and quartered
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed

Method

  1. 01

    Wash and trim 1 cup of radishes (any variety), then quarter them. Peel and cube 1 medium potato.

  2. 02

    Place potato cubes in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 5 minutes.

  3. 03

    Add radish quarters and continue steaming for 8-10 more minutes until both are completely tender.

  4. 04

    Transfer to a blender with 3-4 tablespoons of steaming liquid.

  5. 05

    Blend until smooth and creamy; steaming mellows the sharpness of radish into a mild, pleasant flavor.

How to offer

Cooked radish loses its peppery sharpness and becomes mild. The creamy potato base makes this easy to eat.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 2 months.

Nutrition note

Radishes contain vitamin C and fiber, which support immune health and healthy digestion. While not as nutrient-dense as other veggies, they provide small amounts of potassium and calcium. They are a great way to introduce variety beyond mild, sweet vegetables.
