Chilli Butter Smashed Radishes Recipes

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds halved radishes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt on a baking sheet. Roast at 425 degrees F, stirring once, until golden and tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Season with salt. Toss with 1 cup cilantro. Top with roasted salted pepitas.

Steps:

• Trim the radishes and halve any larger ones. In a large bowl, mix the coarse crystal sea salt with 300ml boiling water and let it dissolve to make a brining solution. Add 1.2 litres cold water, then the radishes. Cover and leave to soak overnight, then rinse and drain.
• To make the pickling vinegar, put the whole spices in a medium saucepan. Toast over a low heat until they begin to smell aromatic. Add the mace blades last, as these can easily catch. Add the bay, pour in all of the vinegar and sugar, let it dissolve, and bring to a simmer. Add the ginger and red chilli.
• Pack the radishes into sterilised jars (see tip below), pour over the hot vinegar, then seal. Ready to eat in 2 weeks, or longer, if you like.

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.

Steps:

• Bring salted water to a rolling boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add peas. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium and add butter to saucepan. Stir in radishes; cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer radishes to a plate and return drained peas to pan. Mash peas lightly or until desired consistency with a potato masher. Stir in radishes and mint. Season with Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Slice the baguette lengthwise and then crosswise, creating four quarters. Spread butter on the tops and bottoms of each quarter and sprinkle with salt. Pile sliced radishes onto the bottoms, then lay the arugula on top of them and sprinkle with the herbs. Top the sandwiches and press them down firmly.
• Serve as is, cut into small sandwiches for hors d'oeuvres, or wrap for lunch.
