Radishes with Butter and Sea Salt

Course Appetizer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch fresh radishes look for firm bulbs with bright green tops
  • 3-4 tablespoons high quality butter softened
  • flaky sea salt

Optional

  • 1 small baguette sliced

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the radishes and trim the stems, leaving a small amount of green if they are fresh and vibrant.
  • Dry thoroughly. Any excess water will dull the flavor.
  • Serve whole if small, or halve larger radishes lengthwise.
  • Spread a generous amount of butter onto each radish (or onto bread, if using).
  • Finish with a pinch of flaky salt just before serving.
