Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 3

85g butter
600g radish , trimmed of their leaves
juice ½ lemon

Steps:

  • Put half the butter in a heavy-based frying pan that will fit all the radishes snugly. Heat the butter until it's just foaming and starting to turn a nut-brown, then add the radishes and turn to coat in the butter.
  • Fry the radishes, turning them every few mins and adding small knobs of the remaining butter as they cook, for 10 mins until they're glazed and have softened and wrinkled. Turn the heat up to maximum, add the lemon juice, let it sizzle for 1 min, then remove the pan from the heat. Season with sea salt and serve.

ASPARAGUS WITH BROWN BUTTER



Asparagus With Brown Butter image

Writing in 1991, Jacques Pépin talked of his love of asparagus, stemming back to his childhood in France. His approach to the vegetable is as uncomplicated as it gets. "It is best when cooked in just enough water to steam it," he wrote. "It is ready - tender but still a bit firm to the bite - after a few minutes." Topped with a brown butter sauce, it's a perfect accompaniment to meat, poultry or fish, but also just as at home with some white rice, part of a simple weeknight meal.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 dozen large asparagus stalks with tight, firm tips (about 1 1/2 pounds; 4 per person)
1/2 cup water
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Peel the lower part (root end) of the asparagus stalks with a vegetable peeler.
  • In a large nonreactive saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the asparagus in one layer, cover and cook over high heat for about 6 minutes, to the desired tenderness. Lift asparagus from the water (most of it should have evaporated) and arrange on a platter.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in a skillet until it is lightly browned and stops smoking. Sprinkle the asparagus with the salt and pepper, and pour the hot butter over it. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

BROWN BUTTER GLAZED RADISHES



Brown Butter Glazed Radishes image

Many people think of radishes as a raw salad topper, but cooked radishes are sweet and crisp-tender and make a quick and easy weeknight side. Brown butter adds a hint of nuttiness, and a touch of sugar caramelizes the radishes, while chopped fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon lend brightness. Serve the glazed radishes warm or at room temperature. If you find radishes with beautiful green tops, toss the glazed radishes with the greens and a little olive oil for an out-of-the-ordinary salad.

Lemon wedges, for serving

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC BROWN BUTTER SAUCE



Roasted Asparagus With Balsamic Brown Butter Sauce image

I got this recipe from Cooking Light and it is our very favorite way to have asparagus. In the summer we grill the asparagus on the barbeque and then drizzle it with the sauce. I guessed at the serving size

Provided by shimmerchk

Categories     Vegetable

Time 17m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs asparagus spears (trim or peel any stalks that seem tough)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt (I use kosher salt)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Arrange asparagus in a single layer on baking sheet; toss to coat with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 12 minutes or until tender.
  • Just before asparagus is done, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook for 3 minutes or until lightly browned, shaking pan occasionally.
  • Do not burn the butter or let it get too brown, should be golden brown.
  • Remove from heat; stir in soy sauce, and vinegar.
  • Drizzle over asparagus, tossing well to coat.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Radishes: Choose small, round radishes with bright red exteriors and firm, unblemished flesh. Avoid radishes that appear wilted or have dark spots.
  • Preparing the Radishes: Trim the root ends and leafy tops of the radishes. Slice them into thin rounds or halves, depending on their size.
  • Browning the Butter: Use unsalted butter to prevent the sauce from becoming too salty. Heat the butter over medium heat until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma.
  • Cooking the Radishes: Add the radishes to the browned butter and cook them until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Adding Flavor: Season the radishes with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. Garlic powder, paprika, and thyme are all great options.
  • Basting the Radishes: Spoon the browned butter over the radishes while they are cooking. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Serving the Radishes: Serve the brown butter basted radishes immediately as a side dish or appetizer. They can also be used as a topping for salads or grilled meats.

Conclusion:

Brown butter basted radishes are a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The radishes are tender and slightly sweet, with a rich and nutty flavor from the browned butter. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
