SAUTEED RADISHES

RADISH WITH BUTTER AND SALT
Sliced radish and butter, finished with a pinch of salt is a simple French snack where the butter cuts the hot pepperiness of the radish, giving you an indulgent low-carb treat in seconds. I use butter very rarely, otherwise, but it does work here. This is my homemade version of the popular French snack. Use the best radishes you can find (the greens should be bright and not wilted, and the radish should be firm) and quality butter at room temperature.

BUTTER-STEWED RADISHES
Though we think of them as part of a crisp raw crudité platter, radishes are delicious cooked. Cooked radishes taste like young turnips, which makes sense, since they are related botanically. Simple to cook, they should be quickly simmered in a small amount of water with a knob of good butter and a little salt. Red radishes turn a dainty pink.

Steps:
- Trim the tops from the radishes, leaving 1/4 inch of green stem. Cut off the roots at the base of each radish, then cut radish in half from top to bottom. Soak radishes in a large bowl of lukewarm water, agitating them to loosen any clinging sand. Drain and rinse, then soak them in cold water. Soak and rinse a third time if necessary.
- Put radishes in a wide skillet and season well with salt and pepper. Add butter and 1 cup of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and reduce heat to a brisk simmer. Cook radishes until tender when pierced but no further, about 5 minutes.
- Remove lid, raise heat and boil to evaporate most of the liquid. Serve in the buttery juices with sprinkling of dill.

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.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Radishes: Look for radishes that are firm and have a bright red color. Avoid radishes that are wilted or have any blemishes.
- Prepare Radishes Properly: Trim the tops and ends of the radishes. Then, slice them into thin rounds or halves, depending on your preference.
- Use Good Quality Butter: The quality of the butter you use will greatly impact the flavor of the dish. Use a high-quality, unsalted butter for the best results.
- Smoke the Butter Properly: If you don't have a smoker, you can smoke the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until it starts to brown and foam. Then, remove the skillet from the heat and let the butter cool slightly.
- Add Herbs and Spices: To enhance the flavor of the radishes, you can add herbs and spices to the smoked butter. Some good options include chives, parsley, dill, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Serve Immediately: Radishes with smoked butter are best served immediately. The radishes will start to lose their crispness if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Radishes with smoked butter is a simple yet delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The smoky flavor of the butter pairs perfectly with the crispness of the radishes, creating a dish that is both flavorful and refreshing. Whether you are serving it at a barbecue, picnic, or dinner party, radishes with smoked butter is sure to be a hit.
