Quick Pickled Black Spanish Radishes: Choose unblemished radishes that are firm to the touch.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup water
• 2 cups rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons organic sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon each of:  coriander seed, mustard seed, fennel seed
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 2 medium black radishes, rinsed and thinly sliced
• fine sea salt
• 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, whole

Method

In a medium saucepan, add water, vinegar, sugar and spices (up to the peppercorns).  Heat over medium-high until it comes to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.  Turn off heat and let steep.
