BUTTER-STEWED RADISHES
Though we think of them as part of a crisp raw crudité platter, radishes are delicious cooked. Cooked radishes taste like young turnips, which makes sense, since they are related botanically. Simple to cook, they should be quickly simmered in a small amount of water with a knob of good butter and a little salt. Red radishes turn a dainty pink.

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.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit bland for me. I think it could use more seasoning, maybe some garlic or herbs.
