Slice off the stem With a sharp knife, start at the top of the radish and cut a slice through to the bottom, without actually cutting the piece away from the radish Just leave enough so that it is barely holding on Repeat this 3 times around the radish (or more, if it is a big one) Place the radish(es) in a bowl of water and set the bowl in the fridge The `petals` will soon open up and you can use these to brighten up most any dish
