radishes

All of those divine looking radishes at the farmers' market on sunday reminded me of a recipe for radish butter that I pulled out of a magazine several years ago. So simple and good. Enjoy!

Radish Butter

8 medium radishes (one bunch) cleaned and trimmed
6 tbls of unsalted butter, room temperature
coarse salt and pepper to taste
1 baguette

Grate radishes on large holes of grater, place on paper towels, and squeeze out excess liquid. Combine radishes and butter in a bowl and mix well. Spread radish mixture on a baguette slice and season with salt and pepper (note: radishes can be soaked in cold water for several hours to add crispness if desired.)

P.S. Here is another version of the recipe (from Orangette).
