Description

Radish Butter is a fresh and creamy spread that combines the crisp, peppery bite of fresh radishes with smooth, unsalted butter and subtle seasonings. Perfect for slathering on crusty breads, roasted vegetables, or as a finishing touch on grilled meats, this quick and simple recipe elevates everyday meals with vibrant flavor and texture in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Essential Ingredients

  • Fresh radishes (about 1 cup, grated or minced)
  • Unsalted butter (1/2 cup or 1 stick, softened)
  • Sea salt (a pinch)

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh herbs such as parsley or chives (1-2 tablespoons, chopped)
  • Lemon juice (1 teaspoon)
  • Cayenne pepper or red chili flakes (a pinch, for spicy variation)
  • Minced garlic (1/2 teaspoon, for garlic boost)
  • Vegan butter or olive oil spread (as a substitute for dairy-free version)
  • Fresh dill, thyme, or tarragon (1 teaspoon each, for herb medley)
  • Toasted sunflower seeds or finely chopped nuts (1-2 tablespoons, for added crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Radishes: Wash the radishes thoroughly and trim off their tops and roots. Finely grate or mince the radishes to ensure they blend smoothly into the butter without an overwhelming texture.
  2. Soften the Butter: Let unsalted butter sit at room temperature until soft and easy to mix, creating a creamy base to incorporate the radishes evenly.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the grated radishes into the softened butter along with a pinch of sea salt. Add any optional fresh herbs, lemon juice, or other add-ins, mixing until well combined.
  4. Chill and Set: Transfer the radish butter mixture to a container or roll it into a log using parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and to firm up the texture before serving.

Notes

  • Choose fresh radishes for the best flavor and crunch.
  • Pat dry grated radishes with a paper towel to avoid watery butter.
  • Use unsalted butter to control the salt level precisely.
  • Experiment with small amounts of fresh herbs to elevate flavor.
  • Serve at room temperature to maximize spreadability and flavor.
