Radishes With Sweet Butter and Kosher Salt
Image courtesy of The New York Times.
I mostly eat radishes thinly sliced and added to salads of mixed lettuces. But when I crave radishes on their own, I love them something like this recipe from Gabrielle Hamilton for The New York Times, with butter from Old Windmill and with the addition of sourdough bread from Cloud Cliff Bakery. This combination makes a great breakfast or lunch or an appetizer for dinner.
