Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Most of radish's flavor molecules (225 of 267) are also found in peanut, but peanut has 160 that radish lacks. Radish gives you part of peanut's character without most of its fresh, green side. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
