Radish Wontons with Radish Greens Pesto
- 3 cups Radish Greens (leaves Only)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cups Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1/4 cups Toasted Sliced Almonds
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 8 Medium Sized Radishes
- 1/4 cups Goat Cheese

- Rinse and pat dry the radish leaves, then put them in a food processor and add the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, almonds, salt and Parmesan.
- Pulse until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Season with salt, to taste.
- Slice the radishes thinly, and crumble the goat cheese.
- Put the stack of wontons on your work surface.
- Lay down a single wrapper, put 1/2 teaspoon of the pesto in the middle, add one or two slices of radish, and a sprinkle of the cheese (about 1/2 teaspoon).
- Wet two adjacent edges of the wrapper (put a little water on your fingertip and wipe it across the edges), fold over the wrapper and seal well.
- Continue with remaining wrappers until filling is all used.
- Heat 1/2 inch of canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
- When hot, add in as many wontons as you can fit with room for each to be turned.
- Fry for a minute or so, until golden brown on the bottom.
- Turn and fry the other side for a minute, or less.
- They will puff up when you fry the 2nd side, but will deflate when taken out of the hot pan.
- Drain on paper towels, and serve hot.
- Repeat frying the rest of the wontons.
