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.
Ideally, you should be planting your seeds in 10 foot (3 m) long rows spaced 1 foot (30 cm) apart, but you can scale down for much smaller spaces. Mix the radish plant fertilizer into the top 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of your soil, then plant your radish seeds Â½ -1 inch (1-2.5 cm) deep and water them thoroughly.
