ROASTED RADISH CROSTINI



Roasted Radish Crostini image

Of all the things you can do with a radish - slice it into salads, chop it into salsa, shred it into slaw or top it with a thick layer of sweet butter and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt - the last thing most people think to do with it is cook it. But you should. Heat transforms the spicy, crisp and crunchy radish into something sweet, succulent and mellow. Here, pan-roasted radishes are served atop toast with a quick sauce made of butter, anchovies, garlic, red pepper and olive oil.

Time 25m

Yield 2 light meals or 4 side dishes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch radishes
9 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons butter
8 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
Pinch red pepper flakes
8 thin slices crusty bread, toasted
4 teaspoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Remove leaves and stems from radishes; trim the tails. Cut larger radishes lengthwise into sixths and smaller radishes lengthwise into quarters.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil, radishes in a single layer (do not crowd) and salt and pepper. Cook radishes, without moving them, until they are lightly colored on undersides, about 3 minutes. Shake pan and continue cooking until tender, about 3 more minutes. (You can also roast them in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 to 20 minutes.)
  • In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in anchovies, garlic, red pepper and remaining oil. Reduce heat and simmer about 4 minutes.
  • Brush each slice of toast with sauce and top with several radish wedges. Spoon additional sauce on top, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 Persian or Kirby cucumbers (12 ounces), halved lengthwise
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2-inch piece fresh horseradish, peeled
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1 tablespoon dill sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Arrange cucumbers in a single layer in an 8-by-12-inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and dot with butter. Roast until cucumbers are slightly softened, about 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Drizzle cucumbers with cream. Roast until cream is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes more.
  • Grate about 1 tablespoon horseradish directly over cucumbers. Sprinkle with lemon zest and dill. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp cucumbers and radishes. This will ensure that your crostini are flavorful and refreshing.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers and radishes. This will help them to cook evenly and will make them more delicate.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Make sure there is enough space between the crostini so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the crostini until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Top the crostini with the cucumber and radish mixture immediately after they come out of the oven. This will help the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the crostini warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within a few hours of being made.
