A soffritto blended to a vivid green and thickened with brown rice and butter – you’ll never throw away a radish leaf again
This is an oldie but a goodie, and it’s adapted from a recipe in my first book The Natural Cook,Radish leaves are one of my favourite root greens. They’re ever so spiky raw but, once dressed or cooked, they soften and a fresh, cucumbery flavour sings through. They’re delicious in a leafy salad alongside other leaves dressed generously with a mustardy vinaigrette or simply lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil.
I’ve used brown rice to thicken this soup, rather than my usual go-to potatoes. It gives the soup a nice, light, silky texture.This vibrant soup is a light and refreshing dish that uses up the whole radish, but it can also be made with the radish tops alone, if you’ve already eaten the roots. If possible, save a radish or two to grate over the top to finish, both for crunch and to add a vivid spark of red.
Add 700ml water and the brown rice to the pan, bring to a boil, then turn down the heat, cover and leave to simmer for 25 minutes, until the rice is soft. Stir in the radishes, radish tops and mint leaves, return to a boil, then take off the heat. Blend the soup until smooth, season to taste and serve with optional grated radish and a blob of butter or cream.
