Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g radishes
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the radishes, cutting off both the tops and root ends. Slice the radishes into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the melted butter and garlic, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the raw flour taste is removed.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk, about 1/4 cup at a time, to ensure a smooth consistency. Once all the milk is incorporated, add the heavy cream and continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the salt and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Add the sliced radishes to the saucepan, gently folding them into the cream sauce to ensure even coating. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the radishes are tender but still have a slight crunch.
Transfer the creamed radishes to a serving dish, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
