Ingredients
  

  • 2 bunches Radishes
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 Lemon zested and juiced
  • 4 sprigs Fresh Thyme, leaves removed
  • to taste Kosher Salt and Pepper

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Wash radishes, cut off tops and cut radishes in half. Save the greens if you want to sauté with radishes if not simply throw away.
  2. Add radishes to a large skillet and fill with water just to the tops of the radishes. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes just until they start to soften but don't completely lose their color. Drain the radishes.
  3. In the same skillet add the butter and let cook over medium heat until the butter becomes nutty and browned. Throw in the radishes and the radish tops if desired. Cook until slightly caramelized and throw in lemon zest, juice, thyme, pepper and Kosher salt.
  4. Serve warm as a side dish or a full meal if you're feeling all that vegetable love.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet for the best texture.
  • Freezing: It’s best not to freeze cooked radishes, as their texture changes significantly when thawed.
  • Pairing: These radishes make a great side for roasted chicken or grilled fish, enhancing the meal's overall flavor.
  • Variations: Try using different herbs like rosemary or sage for a unique twist on this classic recipe.
  • Cooking Method: If you prefer a smoky flavor, consider grilling the radishes instead of roasting them.
