Radishes, butter, and coarse salt. It’s an iconic and sophisticated french combination of flavors that is very addictive. In this recipe, the butter is melted with olive oil (to reduce the richness a bit) and enhanced with umami-rich anchovies, which takes simple to stupendous!

Radish Preparation

The radishes pictured above are from my garden. If you don’t grow radishes, they’re readily available at the market. Buy any type of radishes. Trim them by cutting off the stems and roots. (Sometimes I leave the roots intact. They are edible!). Using a damp paper towel, remove any dirt from the radishes. Then cut them in half or quarters depending on their size.

Anchovy Butter

Notes

Add other sliced or chopped vegetables to this dish. Anchovy butter tastes great on all veggies!

The amount of butter can be adjusted (slightly) if watching your calories.

Goat or Feta cheese and/or toasted crushed nuts can be crumbled on top.

Many larger markets and Trader Joe’s sell radishes that are already trimmed and packaged.
