Method

Set aside one whole radish for garnish. Thinly slice five of the remaining radishes. cut rest of radishes into halves or quarter. Use a vegetable peeler to cut thin lengthwise slices from cucumbers, discarding first slice. (you should have about 2 cups.) In a bowl combine radish slices, halves, & quarters; cucumber ribbons; jalapeno pepper; sorrel; sugar; and salt. drizzle with olive oil and white wine vinegar. toss to coat. garnish with reserved whole radish.

 

Notes: * because jalapeno peppers contain oils that can burn skin and eyes, avoid direct cotact with them as much as possible. wear plastic and rubber gloves when working with jalapenos. if your bare hands do touch peppers, wash hands well with soap and water.

 

Number of Servings: 6
