It was one of those days when I looked in the fridge and said, “What can I make?” And this is the recipe that happened. I’m not very fond of radishes, but they turn mild when cooked and this was delicious. However, if you’ve got some leftover asparagus because you took advantage of this week’s special on it, use that. An asparagus frittata with ham and swiss cheese would be amazing.

I like to prepare (& eat) frittatas – especially nice when traveling in our recreational vehicle.
I( have never cared for radishes either, but how interesting that they turn mild when cooked. And had never even considered using the tops,
I had never used beet greens either until a neighbor suggested that I try…when I gifted her with a large sack of beets from our garden.

Beet greens are wonderful. Actually, I have a hard time not using any good looking greens! If you’re not a fan of arugula because it’s too strong, just boil it for a couple minutes, then use it in a frittata or pasta. And of course, any of those dark green, older Romaine or leaf lettuce leaves are excellent sauteed with onions or in soup.
