Recipes for Roasted and Pickled Radishes

It had never occurred to me to try roasting radishes...until Marco Shaw, a chef in Durham, North Carolina, told me in an interview I have just posted on Seasonal Chef that roasted radishes is one thing he's serving at Piedmont Restaurant right now, in the waning days of winter, when the farmers he works with are enjoying bumper crops of tender crisp radishes. I gave it a try and was sold on the concept. Try it yourself, with this selection of recipes for roasting and cooking radishes. Shaw also mentioned pickling radishes, so I included in the list a couple of radish pickle recipes for good measure.
