Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 1/2 pounds red radishes, about 3 bunches
  • Salt and pepper
  • 6 tablespoons butter (3/4 stick)
  • 3 tablespoons dill or parsley, freshly chopped

Instruction

  • 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.
