Charred Radish and Asparagus Ricotta Bowl by

Tags: radish, asparagus

Inspired by JustineSnacks.com

Ingredients

Full share Veggie Box radishes, greens seperated

Full share Veggie Box asparagus

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

6 flat fillet anchovies*

2 garlic cloves, grated

Lemon, for juicing

Full share Veggie Box sorrel + radish greens

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 & 1/2 cups ricotta, for serving

4 thick slices your bread of choice toasted, for serving

Instructions

First, prep your veg. Wash and dry your greens and radishes. Give the sorrel and radish greens a rough chop, then set aside. Cut the tips off of the radishes and halve them lengthwise. Cut the bottom 2 inches off the asparagus. Then place a large pan over medium heat and add a glug of olive oil. Add in the anchovies and stir around until the anchovies break apart into the oil (about 1 minute).



Add the radishes to the pan, coat them in the anchovy oil, then place them cut-side-down and cook, for 3-4 minutes, or until the radishes are golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the grated garlic at the end, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.



Squeeze juice from half the lemon over the radishes. Transfer the radishes to a bowl, wipe out the pan, and add another glug of olive oil.



Lay the asparagus flat in the pan and cook, for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus are charred on one side. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes. Toss in the sorrel and radish greens and mix to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and squeeze in juice from the other half of the lemon, to your preferred taste. Mix and season with salt.



Add the radishes back in with the other vegetables and do a quick mix. To serve, place ricotta on a plate and add a pile of the vegetables to each bowl along with crusty bread. Top with freshly ground black pepper.



Note: Replace anchovies with a teaspoon of miso or a spoonful of capers for a vegetarian dish!
