I've never been much of a fan of radishes, but I don't think I ever really knew what to do with them. I discovered these beautiful Easter Egg radishes at my local market, and I just couldn't resist them. I'd heard that people ate them with butter and salt (two of my favorite things!), and it seemed like it was high time that I gave it a try.
We wanted to revisit our
homemade butter, but it turned out we both decided to take advantage of our toddlers' naps by napping ourselves rather than making butter. Still, it would be
so good with homemade butter. (Note to selves: next time we must use fresh butter!) We took our supermarket butter and creamed it with some parsley, lemon, and kosher salt. The herbed butter was the perfect accompaniment to the mild radishes' peppery bite.
Radishes with Herbed Butter on Baguette
- 6 tbs unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbs parsley, minced
- spritz of lemon
- kosher salt, to taste
- 6 radishes, sliced thinly
- 1 small baguette, sliced
- parsley, for garnish
Mix together butter, parsley, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Spread herbed butter on a slice of baguette, top with a slice or two of radish. Top with a sprig of parsley! Repeat.
