Butter-Stewed Radishes

09 November 2024

This is one of those things that just happened and it was the most pleasant side dish in the world. And my love for radishes just exploded and I want these again and again and again and again. 

I was making dinner one night and whatever veggie I was making had gone bad. But I had a bundle of radishes for some unknown reason now. I searched NYT for a recipe and found this one. It was absolutely wonderful. You really wouldn't even know it was a radish. But it was so flavorful and perfect. Try it! 

 Ingredients
1½ pounds red radishes, about 3 bunches
Salt and pepper
6 tablespoons butter (¾ stick) - I used less
3 tablespoons dill or parsley, freshly chopped

Preparation
Step 1
Trim the tops from the radishes, leaving ¼ 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.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
Remove lid, raise heat and boil to evaporate most of the liquid. Serve in the buttery juices with sprinkling of dill.
