Butter Stewed Radishes Food

RADISHES WITH BUTTER AND SALT

Steps:

• Arrange the radishes on a bed of sea salt. Spread the butter on slices of toasted bread and arrange artfully on a platter. Serve at room temperature.
• Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed until combined. Do not whip.

BUTTER-STEWED RADISHES

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 BUTTER

Steps:

• Trim leaves and root strand off of radishes, then wash and dry the radish bulbs.
• Place radish bulbs in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped.
• Add the butter and pulse until smooth.
• Mix in salt and pepper to taste, or spread on bread and sprinkle individual servings with salt and pepper.
• Serve at room temperature. Can be kept covered at room temperature for three days.

STEAMED RADISHES

Steps:

• Trim the ends off of the radishes and peel a band of radish-skin from around the middle of the radish.
• Steam the radishes in a covered microwave safe container for 8 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain and toss with butter, serve immediately.

SAUTEED RADISHES

Steps:

• Heat butter in a skillet over low heat; arrange radishes, cut side-down, in the melted butter. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until radishes are browned and softened, about 10 minutes.

BUTTER-BRAISED RADISHES AND TURNIPS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a sauce pan and add the radishes and turnips. Add vegetable broth to the pan until the vegetables are halfway submerged. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until the vegetables are just starting to become tender (about 15 minutes). Remove the lid and continue cooking until most of the liquid is cooked down and the vegetables become shiny and glazed.
• Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the mint leaves to the boiling water and blanch for 10 seconds. Then add them to an ice bath. Next, dab the mint leaves dry and blend them with olive oil in a food processor or with an immersion blender until the mint is finely chopped.
• Serve with the mint oil drizzled over the butter-braised radishes and turnips.

GARLIC ROASTED RADISHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425℉. In a bowl, combine the radishes, cooking fat (ghee, butter or oil), dried herbs, salt, and pepper; toss until the radishes are evenly coated. (Note: don't add the minced garlic until step 3).
• Spread radishes out in a single layer in a large 9×13 inch baking dish.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes. After the first 10 minutes of baking add the minced garlic and toss. Return to oven to bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until radishes are golden brown and easily pierced with a fork.
• If desired, serve with ranch dressing for dipping or drizzling on top and garnish with fresh parsley, dill, or chives.
