Often ribs are boiled or oven-steamed before grilling to help tenderize the meat. To oven-steam ribs, place ribs in a large baking pan, fill with about 1 inch of water, cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 50 minutes in a 350-degree oven. The recipe here includes instructions on how to boil ribs before grilling.
Another use of radish is as cover or catch crop in winter or as a forage crop. Some radishes are grown for their seeds; daikon, for instance, may be grown for oil production. Others are used for sprouting and both roots and leaves are sometimes served cooked or cold.
Day 1: Plant radish seeds. Make sure there are no large lumps in your soil, and plant the seeds about 1 in (3 cm) apart and about 1/2 in (1 cm) deep. Week 2: Tend to radishes. In about two weeks your radishes will begin to germinate.
