HERBED RADISH BUTTER

Radish butter is one of those recipes that’s so simple it’s almost a ‘no recipe’ kind of recipe: radishes, butter whipped with herbs, salt, pepper. I told you. With three simple ingredients you can turn the lowly, nearly forgotten radish, into something worthy of spreading on a baguette – or if you’re watching the carbs, you can enjoy on a low-carb cracker, fill celery sticks or a top for cucumber rings.

Herbed Radish Butter

While most of us associate radishes with having a ‘bite’ or ‘peppery’ taste that can be off-putting, the herby butter tames the overall heat of the radishes and dare I say, makes me feel a bit fancy?

Pinky’s up!
