RADISH SANDWICHES WITH BUTTER AND SALT
Steven Satterfield, the chef at Miller Union in Atlanta, included this very French picnic recipe in his cookbook, "Root to Leaf." As he points out, the key is to use a lot of butter, a lot of radishes and plenty of salt. The recipe yields four sturdy desk- or school-lunch sandwiches, or you can divide them further, into a dozen little bites for hors d'oeuvres.

Steps:
- Slice the baguette lengthwise and then crosswise, creating four quarters. Spread butter on the tops and bottoms of each quarter and sprinkle with salt. Pile sliced radishes onto the bottoms, then lay the arugula on top of them and sprinkle with the herbs. Top the sandwiches and press them down firmly.
- Serve as is, cut into small sandwiches for hors d'oeuvres, or wrap for lunch.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the radishes, bread, and butter, the better your sandwich will taste.
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the moisture of the radishes is best. Some good options include sourdough, rye, or whole wheat bread.
- Slice the radishes thinly: This will help them to soften and release their flavor more easily.
- Spread the butter generously: This will help to keep the sandwich moist and flavorful.
- Add a little salt and pepper: This will help to enhance the flavor of the radishes.
- Serve immediately: Radish sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh.
Conclusion:
Queen Victoria's Radish Sandwich is a simple but delicious sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its fresh, peppery flavor, this sandwich is sure to please everyone at your table.
