Radish on the Grill and Zucchini Bread

Thanks Brenda for these.

Radish on the Grill

Wash cut in half radish, place in glass bowl microwave for 1 min. ( radish will become less red, idea is to tenderize, and it will lessen the sharp taste)

Large piece of tinfoil ( piece large enough to allow ingredients to be placed in the middle of the sheet and the four sides to fold into the middle closing the tinfoil, to be somewhat flat without too much thickness as this package will go on the grill, place ingredient on the shinny side tinfoil, helps absorbs heat )

Arrange thinly sliced onions in two rows in the middle of the tinfoil, ( cut a whole onion into slices leaving as rings, may require two whole onions)

Garnish with spice ( can add garlic cloves chopped/shallots, peppers thinly chopped or sliced- with what ever spices you enjoy, pepper, celery, etc or commercial blends to your own taste)

Place radish on top of onion layer, sprinkle with spice.

Place onion layer on top of radish, close the tinfoil making a sealed package.The tinfoil package should be relatively flat not too thick)

Place the tinfoil package on the grill, (10 min or less) do not need to turn over, if you are bbq/grilling meat, can move the radish to top shelve of grill for the rest of the time it takes to cook the meat.

Open tinfoil and serve. ( onions will be steamed, spice/onion flavor will infuse the radish)

Variations: Using crushed Chili peppers/chili powder will compliment/enhance radish taste. ( If you like hot)

Can wash the radish greens (tops) cut in half, lay on top of the first onion layer with the radish and prepare as directed above using a bit more spice on the greens before placing onion layer on top. The greens will steam cook within the tinfoil.
