    Radish Crostini with Herb Butter

    Published: Jul 20, 2010 · Modified: Oct 22, 2014 by Jennifer Che

    I have never been a radish person. In fact, when I was younger, they sort of made me gag almost. I'm not sure if it was the spiciness of it, or something else inherent in the flavor of the root. For whatever reason, I would pick them out of my salads and basically avoid them.

    Oh the irony! I sign up for a CSA boxshare that seems to give me radishes week after week after week. First it was the French breakfast radishes, then these hot pink radishes. We even got purple radishes!

    Finally, it was time for me to try and appreciate this vegetable that I had been avoiding for so long.

    Radish
    Having avoided them most of my life, I really had no idea how to prepare them. After talking to a few people and doing some hunting on the internet, I found out that a classic French way of eating radishes is just to enjoy them with some butter and salt. Raw. With some beautiful toasted baguettes.

    Alas, I don't live in France, and although I do have access to some beautiful baguettes in Cambridge, I wasn't quite in the mood to step out so early in the morning just to buy some bread.

    So I improvised and made my own version of the classic French breakfast. Instead of using plain butter, I decided to spread the bread with some herb butter I had made just a few days ago. Add a dash of sea salt and sliced radishes, and you have yourself a very healthy, fragrant, and enjoyable breakfast (or lunch, appetizer, whatever!). I used some toasted whole wheat Nature's Pride bread they had sent me to try out (which was delicious!), but I'm guessing this tastes even better with an authentic French baguette.

    Spread herb butter on toasted baguettes. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and top with a few slices of raw radishes.

    Serve!
