I’m not sure how complete of a meal this is but I could eat it every day and almost do during the summer.  It helps to use the produce procured from my obsession with radishes.  This works well with spicier red radishes, as well as milder watermelon or French breakfast.  I don’t think it works that well with the extremely assertive black radishes, but that may just be me.

A bunch radishes, any kind, with greens

Butter

Coarse salt or fleur de sel

Pepper

Bread

I don’t want to sound like a snob but of course, this tastes better with fresher ingredients.

Wash radish greens carefully, discard stems and chop finely.  Mix into butter that’s been allowed to sit out for a bit so that it’s soft.  I use butter from the farmers market that comes in a tub, usually about 2-3 tablespoons.  Mix radish greens into the butter.

Thinly slice radishes.

Butter bread with radish green butter, top with sliced radishes.  Add a few flecks of salt and finish with pepper.
