Rammenas with mandarins and walnuts


Rammenas is another vegetable that I hadn't tried before. But it’s good. It’s surprising to discover all this stuff out there full of good flavours. Undiscovered territory. People, go and buy forgotten veg! Live it up. There’s some good stuff out there.

Yes, I know. I didn’t grow this. Its from the market. But forgive me. This blog is new (and I’m new to blogging). My subject matter (the garden) isn’t up and running yet because its March. I just got the first seeds going in their  mini greenhouse a couple days ago.

But we got some rammenas from the market. It has a dark outer husk and a bright white inside.  I read  elsewhere that it tastes similar to a radish, but I don’t really think so. Its quite bland, but works as a nice filler. It does get a bit dry after a day or two. This one was in the fridge for a few days before we ate it.



This is just grated rammenas with about 200 ml of plain yogurt. Add some sections of mandarin oranges and walnuts. You’re good to go. Makes a decent starter, or a simple side dish. So far I haven’t tried anything else with this vegetable. I should take my own advice and buy it more often. Just like with the schorseneren (which I’m going to try to grow this year), I was impressed.
