Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- ⅔ to ¾ cup finely grated radishes
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Crackers or crostini, for serving
Instructions
- Soften the Butter: Place the salted butter in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or a soft spatula, mix the butter until it becomes creamy and smooth, which will help combine it evenly with the radishes.
- Add Grated Radishes: Gradually add the finely grated radishes to the creamy butter. Stir gently until the radishes are fully incorporated into the butter mixture. The butter may separate slightly from the radishes, but this texture is ideal for spreading.
- Season the Mixture: Add a generous pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to the mixture. Stir again until everything is well combined and the flavors are balanced.
- Serve: Spread the spring radish butter on crackers or crostini. Enjoy as an appetizer or a flavorful snack.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp radishes for the best flavor and texture.
- You can adjust the amount of radishes according to your preference for texture and radish flavor intensity.
- Salted butter is recommended, but if using unsalted, add salt to taste accordingly.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Let it come to room temperature before serving for easy spreading.
- This spread pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, raw vegetables, or as a topping for baked potatoes.
