Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh radishes, finely grated or minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill, chives, or parsley), finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Radishes: Wash and finely grate or mince the radishes to ensure even distribution and a smooth texture when mixed with butter.
  2. Soften the Butter: Allow the butter to reach room temperature for easy mixing, resulting in a creamy and homogenous spread.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the softened butter with the grated radishes, freshly chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Adjust Seasoning and Texture: Taste your Radish Butter and tweak with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed, balancing the flavors to your liking.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Transfer to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the butter firm up slightly for easy spreading.

Notes

  • Use fresh radishes for the brightest flavor and best texture.
  • Grate radishes finely to avoid large chunks and achieve smooth butter consistency.
  • Start with unsalted butter to control the salt level precisely.
  • Chilling the butter allows flavors to marry for a richer taste.
  • Serve at room temperature for optimal spreadability and flavor release.
