Riced Radish Pilaf

Riced Radish Pilaf is a flavorful and low-carb twist on traditional pilaf, featuring finely riced radishes as a base instead of rice. This dish is aromatic with herbs and spices, making it a perfect side or light main course.

Ingredients

• Radishes - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Vegetable broth - 250 ml
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Thyme - 1 teaspoon, dried
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Begin by washing the radishes thoroughly, then trim the tops and tails. Use a food processor to rice the radishes until they resemble grains of rice.
2. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the riced radishes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
5. Pour in the vegetable broth, add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cover the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and radishes are tender.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve warm.
