This is a fun twist for people that enjoy butter…pretty much anyone! The uses for radish butter include: on bread, on a cracker, cooking eggs, on a steak, just a little sliver to eat!
Radish Butter
1lb butter
10 radishes thinly sliced (can be diced or in round form).
2Tbls oil (not olive – I suggest vegetable)
Optional – fresh herbs (dried) like parsley or thyme
Get a pound of good quality butter (I prefer the Kerrygold)
Slice the radishes and then put them on a paper towel, dry thoroughly, let them stand for 15 minutes to dry slightly. You do NOT want additional moisture in the final mix.
Melt the butter and use a fork to mix it. Slowly add the oil, stirring constantly. Add the sliced radishes, and if you choose – herbs, mixing. Take the soft mixture and form it into a circle or put it into a shallow bowl. Let it sit in your refrigerator for a day. Eat it on bread, crackers, etc by the slice OR add it to the top of a steak.
This Radish Butter will keep for roughly 10 days in the refrigerator. Perfect for an addition to a charcuterie board as well! The crunch and freshness of the radish really makes this butter a favorite around our house. Enjoy!
