Best 3 Radishes With Smoked Butter Recipes

While radishes are often relegated to the role of salad ingredient, they can shine as the star of a dish. Their peppery bite is mellowed by roasting, and their crisp texture becomes tender and creamy. When paired with smoked butter, the flavors of the radishes are amplified, creating a dish that is both elegant and rustic. Smoked butter adds a rich, nutty flavor to the radishes, and the smokiness balances out the sweetness of the roasted vegetables. This dish is perfect for a simple weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. Serve it as a side dish or main course.

Categories Canapes

Time 10m

Yield 15 as canapé

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

2 bunches of radishes (about 30 in total), with their leaves
100g good-quality unsalted butter , softened to room temperature
good-quality sea salt flakes, (use smoked salt for a smoky flavour)

Steps:

Clean the radishes well, trim any unsightly leaves, ensure they are completely dry and keep in the fridge until needed.
Scoop one-third of the butter into a small saucepan and sizzle until it turns a hazelnut-brown colour. Remove from the heat, pour into a bowl and leave to cool completely - if it solidifies slightly, all the better.
Put the rest of the butter in a microwaveable bowl and whisk until it is the consistency of melted chocolate. If the butter is too hard to whisk, give it a few short blasts in the microwave, whisking well between each blast until done. Stir the browned butter into the whisked butter and set aside.
Line a tray with baking parchment, dip the radishes into the butter and lay them on the tray. Sprinkle them with sea salt before the butter hardens. Put back in the fridge until ready to serve. Arrange on a large sharing board before serving straight away while the butter is cold.

RADISHES WITH SMOKED BUTTER

Categories side-dish

Time 2h

Yield about 1/2 cup butter

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

10 tablespoons unsalted butter
Flaky salt, for sprinkling
Radishes, cut in half, for serving

Steps:

Cover the bottom of a big Dutch oven with wood chips. Ball up three big pieces of aluminum foil each to about the size of a golf ball, then place them on top of the chips; they'll be used to prop up the bowl of butter. Cover the Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat for 10 minutes.
Place the butter in a heatproof bowl and place the bowl on top of the aluminum balls. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot, allowing a small opening to vent. Cook for 30 minutes. Taste; if you'd like it to be smokier, cook for longer, up to 30 minutes more. Let the butter cool at room temperature back to 65 to 70 degrees F.
To speed up the cooling, stick the butter in the freezer, stirring occasionally, until spreadable and opaque, about 20 minutes.
Sprinkle the butter with flaky salt, then serve with radishes for dipping or spreading.

Tips:

Choose the Right Radishes: Select firm, crisp radishes with a vibrant red color and no blemishes. Smaller radishes are typically more tender and flavorful.
Wash Radishes Thoroughly: Wash radishes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the root ends and any wilted leaves.
Slice Radishes Evenly: Slice radishes evenly to ensure even cooking. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for consistent results.
Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill add a burst of flavor to the dish. Chop them finely just before serving for the best taste and aroma.
Don't Overcook Radishes: Radishes cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They should still retain a slight crunch when done.

Conclusion:
