Raw white radish salad

I need to pull myself together: this is supposed to be Primitive Kitchen, yet I’m serving duck (for example, duck with porcini sauce) almost as though I were on MasterChef. It occurred to me that this approach is starting to blur my mission 😉

Although, actually, the idea was to create a recipe site with dishes anyone can make. Anyone means even someone who has never cooked anything before. So I describe how I make things, and I reckon that if someone tries to follow along, they’ll end up with exactly the same dish.

Usually they’re good dishes, although perhaps my taste isn’t especially refined. Sometimes they’re dishes for children (which any child will surely eat, since one of the world’s pickiest eaters, my dear daughter Ninka, happily tucks into them); sometimes they’re also dishes from Kaja (a well-known CrossFit enthusiast from Mokotów, if you know what I mean).

Somewhere near the beginning, I promised there would be no more ingredients in the recipes than wins for the Polish national team in the qualifiers. Well, our national team seems to be changing (touch wood). We’re top of the group, and I may have to eat my words 🙂

Still, getting back to my roots (probably not for long), I’m posting a very simple dish. A recipe for raw white radish salad. I don’t eat it very often, although it’s quite good. Super-primitive and healthy. Highly recommended! Together with raw carrot salad, it makes a dream duo of primitive dishes for the approaching anniversary of the launch of PrymitywnaKuchnia.pl. Yes, that’s on 17 November already. Perhaps there’ll even be cake and candles?

Recipe for white radish:

I peeled the white radish and grated it on the finest side of the grater. I transferred it to a fine sieve and drained off the juice (squeezing it out by hand). I put it in a small bowl and added the pepper and sour cream. I mixed thoroughly. The salad is ready. Very simple and tasty. Enjoy!

BTW, you can see a little carrot in the salad in the photos. I’d been grating carrots for carrot salad beforehand, and a tiny bit was left over. It doesn’t spoil the taste in the slightest. You can even add a little carrot; the salad will be even tastier.
