Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large (about 1 cup grated) fresh radishes
- 113 grams (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or parsley)
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the radishes and trim off the greens and roots. If preferred, lightly peel the radishes for a less spicy flavor.
Using a box grater or food processor, finely grate the radishes. Transfer the grated radishes to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Wrap the radish gratings tightly in the cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid, as it can make the butter too watery.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, grated and squeezed-dry radishes, sea salt, lemon juice, and black pepper. If desired, fold in the finely chopped fresh herbs at this stage.
Use a spoon or spatula to mix the ingredients together until well incorporated and the mixture has a uniform texture.
Transfer the radish butter to a serving dish or shape it into a log using parchment paper or plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with crusty bread, crackers, or as a unique topping for roasted vegetables. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
