Radishes #3

CREAMED RADISHES WITH PIMENTON
Ingredients:
8 ounces of radishes: grated
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp arrowroot
½ c hot radish water (or milk)
½ c milk
1 tsp Splenda
½ tsp pimenton (or paprika or nutmeg)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions: In a medium saucepan, bring enough water plus some to cover the radishes to boil. Meanwhile, grate the radishes. Add them to the boiling water and let simmer until cooked, about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving approximately ½ cup of the cooking water. When the radishes are nearly cooked, start the white sauce by heating a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and let melt. Add the arrowroot and stir in all the lumps are gone, stirring the whole time, about 1 minute. Slowly add the hot radish water, stirring the whole while. As you stir the liquid will be absorbed into the arrowroot mixture and seize up. If you add the water too quickly, the sauce will be lumpy. Add the milk in the same way. Stir in the cooked radishes, then the pimenton, cook for 2-3 minutes more until completely hot. Season to taste and serve.
