Hasselback Radishes With Miso Dressing Recipes

HASSELBACK RADISHES WITH MISO DRESSING

Steps:

• Trim 2 bunches radishes, then slice as directed (see below). Place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and drizzle with 4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss to coat. Roast at 425 degrees F until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Whisk 2 tablespoons vegetable oil with 1 tablespoon mirin, 2 teaspoons each white miso paste and lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Drizzle over the radishes and top with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
• Cut a thin sliver from one side of the vegetable so it can sit flat. (If you¿re starting with halved veggies, skip this step.)
• Position the vegetable cut-side down between the handles of two wooden spoons.
• Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts (1/8 to 1/4 inch apart), stopping when the knife hits the handles so you don¿t cut all the way through the vegetable.

GINGER-GRILLED CHICKEN AND RADISHES WITH MISO-SCALLION DRESSING

Steps:

• Season chicken on all sides with 2 1/2 tsp. salt and place in a large bowl. Add ginger beer, garlic, 3/4 cup vinegar, and 3 Tbsp. ginger to bowl and toss to combine. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Meanwhile, whisk miso, 3/4 cup oil, 1 tsp. salt, and remaining 6 Tbsp. vinegar and 1 tsp. ginger in a small bowl. Mix in scallions. Let dressing sit at room temperature up to 1 hour, or chill up to 24 hours.
• Prepare a grill for high heat; brush grate lightly with oil. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Toss radishes with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl; season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to platter with chicken.
• Toss lettuce with about one-third of dressing in a large bowl. Drizzle another third of the dressing over grilled radishes. Serve remaining dressing alongside.
