Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup fresh radishes, finely grated or minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (chives or parsley), chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Radishes: Wash and dry fresh radishes thoroughly. Then, finely grate or mince them to ensure their peppery flavor disperses evenly throughout the butter without large crunchy bits.
  2. Soften the Butter: Allow unsalted butter to sit at room temperature until soft but not melted for a smooth, creamy texture.
  3. Mix Ingredients Together: In a bowl, fold the grated radishes, sea salt, and fresh lemon juice into the softened butter. Add chopped herbs if using. Stir gently until everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. Shape and Chill: Transfer the mixture onto parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log or press into a small container, then chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to let flavors meld and the butter firm up.

Notes

  • Choose firm, bright red radishes for the best crisp and vibrant flavor.
  • Start with a little sea salt and adjust after tasting to keep the spread balanced.
  • Use room temperature butter for an even, velvety texture without lumps.
  • Chill the butter properly to solidify and blend flavors before serving.
  • Finely grate radishes rather than chopping to avoid large crunchy bits.
