Round white thingy salad

Send out someone to buy radish, and he brings back these medium size white round ones, that, after some research, turn out to be Kugelrettiche from Sachsen-Anhalt. Now how does that translate? Wild variations between may turnip and ball radish all sound like Google translator nonsense. Let's just call them round radish/working title and hopefully you will know what they are. Any radish is good, really. I am pretty sure turnip is something else.

Anyhow, use THEM, sliced
spring onions
coriander leaves
and marinated button mushrooms
some of the oil they were sitting in
ginger marmalade
some white balsamico
salt, pepper
a little olive oil
Add a red chili to taste.

And, may I add, the Edeka recipe does not look bad, either.

Enjoy.

Corn Lettuce with Brazil Nuts, Brie, Radish and Cranberry Dressing

Yesterday's lunch table brainstorming turned into something seriously yummy:

Corn Lettuce
Small white radish, if available flaked with veggie peeler
I was also thinking pear flakes, but we may be happy with just cranberries for now.

Some brie cheese, preferably not so soft
Brazil nuts, very roughly chopped
Some dry cranberries

Cranberry jam (Preiselbeeren im Glas)
Shallot
White balsamico
Olive oil
Salt, pepper, a little veggie broth
