any radish suggestions?

Does anyone out there have any decent recipes involving cooking radishes? In my ongoing quest to find more vegetables I like okay and can eat, I tried radishes, which I hated as a kid. My first attempt was to slice raw radishes thinly and put them on thin buttered bread, sort of like a fancy teatime sandwich.

My mouth liked that okay, but my digestion didn't like it as well (I think raw radishes don't agree with me) but I thought maybe I could cook the rest somehow. Anyone have any recipes? Most of my cookbooks, if they mention radishes at all, talk about eating them raw as part of a relish plate.

I don't have any that involve cooking with heat, but I've been making recipes that involve marinating them in an acid, which might help.

http://www.marthastewart.com/312934/fish-tacos-with-salsa-verde-and-radish-s was pretty good.

My CSA doesn't have any radish recipes (which is a pity since we get them pretty frequently), but they have a big list of other recipes for vegetables that they grow here: http://kitchengardenfarm.com/vegetable-pages

I've gotten some good ideas from it for ways to eat more greens.

And a few more, all actually cooked with heat:
