Radishes With Butter

Ingredients

• 16 ounces radishes – trimmed, larger ones halved
• 6 ounces unsalted butter – chilled, cut into pats
• 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt – for sprinkling
• baguette – sliced (for serving)

Instructions

1. Rinse the radishes under cold water, trim the roots and most of the greens, leaving a small tuft for holding; halve any larger radishes so pieces are bite-size.
2. Arrange the radishes on a platter and refrigerate briefly while you prepare the butter so they stay crisp and cold.
3. Cut the unsalted butter into small pats or sticks and set on a chilled plate; let stand 5 minutes so it’s cool yet spreadable, not melting.
4. Spoon the flaky sea salt into a small dish.
5. Serve the platter of radishes with the butter and the dish of salt; to eat, spread a little butter on a radish and sprinkle with salt. Offer baguette slices for serving if desired.
