Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Radishes
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Trim the tops and tails of the radishes, and thoroughly rinse them under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Chop the parsley finely and set aside. Cut large radishes in half if desired for even cooking, but leave small radishes whole.
In a medium-sized pot, add 2 cups of water and place a steamer basket inside. Ensure the water level does not touch the bottom of the basket.
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and add the prepared radishes to the steamer basket.
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the radishes for 7-10 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not mushy.
While the radishes are steaming, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Set it aside but keep it warm.
Once the radishes are steamed, transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the radishes, tossing gently to coat them evenly.
Season the radishes with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish for a fresh, aromatic finish.
Serve the steamed buttered radishes warm as a side dish, or alongside crusty bread for an elegant snack.
