Top tips for making roasted radishes and leeks:
- We have used normal leeks but if you want a dainty presentation opt for baby leeks instead
- To minimise dishes, use a roasting tin which is attractive enough to sit on the table too. We've used a Falconware enamel dish
- Try crumblings over some feta cheese once out of the oven for a delicious finish. This is a great pairing with roast lamb
- The leeks are likely to char a little on the sides so keep an eye on them. You want them to crisp up a little as Deputy Food Editor Rose Fooks believes this is one of the tastiest parts of the dish
- The radishes will remain quite firm after 15mins of cooking but if you'd prefer them softer, cook for five mins on their own before adding the leeks to the dish
