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.

SAVORY BASIL ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
I found this recipe on another website today, and everyone here liked them so much that I figured I should post it for easy access. This is originally from Gourmet Magazine, July 1990. The recipe calls for the muffins to be sliced in half and served with butter and sliced radish, as a tea sandwich. However, they are tasty with or without radish, so I figured I'd just post it as a muffin recipe and not strictly a tea sandwich. My boyfriend and I ate the sandwiches with some homemade chai tonight, and felt very British. Of course, it would have been more British to eat them at 5PM and not 10, but we silly Americans can never get those things right. Supposedly using mini-muffin tins yields a better tea sandwich, but I used a regular muffin tin and was very satisfied with the result.

Steps:
- Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven, then put baking pans on racks and preheat oven to 450°F.
- Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss with 1/4 cup oil, teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Halve radishes lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss with remaining 3 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in another large bowl. Working quickly, spread zucchini in pan on lower rack and radishes in pan on upper rack.
- Roast vegetables, without stirring, until lightly browned and tender, 20 to 30 minutes, then toss together in a large bowl.
Tips:
- Choose small radishes with vibrant red exteriors. These are typically sweeter and more tender than larger radishes.
- Slice the radishes thinly. This will help them soften and become more palatable in the sandwich.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the radishes. Some good options include basil, dill, mint, chives, garlic, and onion powder.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread. Hearty whole-wheat bread, soft white bread, or even a croissant would all be delicious options for this sandwich.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately. Radishes tend to wilt quickly, so it's best to enjoy these sandwiches as soon as they're made.
