Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams radishes
- 1 liter water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash the radishes thoroughly under cool running water to remove dirt. Trim off the tops and roots, then halve or quarter them depending on size to ensure even cooking.
2. Add 1 liter of water to a medium-sized pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Stir in the teaspoon of salt.
3. Carefully add the prepared radishes to the boiling water. Lower the heat to medium and boil for 8-10 minutes, or until the radishes are fork-tender.
4. Drain the radishes using a colander, shaking off any excess water.
5. Return the drained radishes to the pot and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir gently over low heat until the butter melts and coats the radishes evenly.
6. Transfer the radishes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if using, and serve warm.
