Pickling solution
- 12 even sized radishes
- 30g feta
- 15g cream cheese
- Fresh dill
- Small piece of cucumber
- 30g caster sugar
- 60ml white wine vinegar
- 60ml water
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 small red Thai chilli
Method
- STEP 1Firstly make the pickling solution: Heat the vinegar, water, sugar and salt to dissolve the sugar. Cool.
- STEP 2Scoop out the centres of the radishes using a small spoon or small scoop. Level off the bottoms so that they sit flat.
- STEP 3Immerse the radishes in the pickling solution. Cut the chilli in half lengthwise and add it to the pickling solution. Leave at least 3 hours.
- STEP 4To make the whipped feta: process the feta in a food processor until it is smooth (this will take at least 3 or 4 minutes). Add the cream cheese and process until they are mixed together. Alternatively use creamy goats cheese alone.
- STEP 5Drain the radishes and dry with kitchen towel. Fill each radish generously with the whipped feta.
- STEP 6Cut the cucumber into small cubes (keep the skin on to add colour). Place a few cucumber cubes and a sprig of dill on each radish. Season to taste and store in the fridge (for up to 4 hours) or serve immediately.
