Top and tail and peel (the radish not the 50p) and grate into any stir fry dish. They are quite stong so be a bit careful.

If you are into Indian type food try a `water pickle`-you might need to google an exact recipe. It`s basically salt and spices with radish or turnip-takes a few days to mature and does not have a long shelf life but it`s fun to try and quite tasty.
