I’m rethinking almost everything regarding my Thanksgiving menu bc I’m either bored or just not thrilled with what Ive done in the past. Except mash potatoes. There’d be a mutiny if that wasn’t on the menu.
Last night I had a revelation. I tried out a potential new veg side - Butter braised radishes, Brussels sprouts and kohlrabi. It’s good and I’ll definitely make it this year. But the thing that blew my mind were the butter braised radishes. Holy smokes! Those were delicious. I think you could served them alone as a side. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a radish that wasn’t raw before. Braising completely transforms them - sweet, but still with a little crunch.
Here’s some pics of what I made.



When I have more time, I will post some recipes that I’ve done in the past. Please share some of your favorites and/or just some interesting and different things you’ve made. It would be nice to create a Pit Compendium of Sides.
