Tuesday's Toast

Inspiration came from one of my favorite NYC restaurants, Prune, on the Lower East Side. Often when waiting for one of the few tables in this tiny restaurant I enjoy one of their signature cocktails and snack on radishes with sweet butter and kosher salt. So simple and delicious. I even serve them when I have friends over for drinks. The peppery radish flavor combined with sweet and salty will wake up any piece of morning toast.

Radish Butter Toast

1 bunch radishes, cleaned, root ends removed and finely chopped
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted sweet butter, softened
Kosher salt or quality flake salt

Place radishes in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Wrap in a dish towel, cheese cloth or paper towel and wring out excess liquid.
Cream the finely chopped radishes and butter together until smooth and well mixed.
Spread on toast and sprinkle with kosher salt or a quality flake salt to taste.

Will stay fresh refrigerated in an airtight container for several days. Remove 15 minutes before use to allow butter to soften.
