I didn't completely cover the radishes with water and I still had more liquid than glaze. So when the radishes were done, I removed them from the sauce and cooked it down, trying to get a glaze. I still didn't really get a glaze but I poured it over the radishes anyway. The flavor was good. I thought they tasted like a cross between cauliflower and turnips.

I never considered cooking radishes - these are delicious. Mind, Mr Grumpy would not eat his. Make sure to use just enough water to cover. I was not paying attention and had too much in there. Lost patience and poured off some of the liquid to get to a glaze more quickly. So easy to do and so tasty.

This was easy and delicious. I also didn't have success getting the water to thicken. I removed the radishes with a slotted spoon after the required simmering time. Then tried to reduce the liquid which it did reduce but the sauce didn't thicken into a glaze. It still tasted wonderful however with sweet, tart, sour, tangy, salty flavors! I replaced fresh parsley with fresh cilantro (it's Taco Tuesday!) and used a light sprinkle of pyramid salt for finishing. Prepared for the FYC game. Would definitely make this again!
