Instructions

  1. Prepare Radishes: Trim the leaves and root strands off the radishes, then wash the radish bulbs thoroughly and dry them completely.
  2. Chop Radishes: Place the radish bulbs into a food processor and pulse repeatedly until they are very finely chopped, ensuring a smooth texture.
  3. Add Butter: Add the softened butter to the food processor with the radishes and pulse again until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
  4. Season: Transfer the radish butter to a bowl and mix in salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Serve the radish butter at room temperature, ideally spread on bread, with an optional sprinkle of salt and pepper on individual servings.
  6. Storage: Keep the radish butter covered at room temperature for up to three days for best flavor and freshness.

Notes

  • This recipe is vegetarian and gluten free as is, making it suitable for most dietary needs excluding vegan due to the butter.
  • Use fresh, firm radishes for the best flavor and texture.
  • Softened butter mixes more easily with the radishes, so ensure your butter is not cold or hard.
  • Adjust seasoning to preference, as radishes can vary in pepperiness and flavor intensity.
  • Serve as a simple appetizer or as a fresh spread for bread, crackers, or sandwiches.
