Pickled Radishes

Adapted from Delicious Magazine UK

These radishes are as beautiful as they are tasty. They get their pink hue from the vibrant pink of the radish peel. Delicious as an accompaniment to an omelet, cheese plate, etc. The recipe was taught to us in a City Market cooking class by Jessica Bongard of Sweet Lime Cooking Studio.
