Radish-Scallion Butter

This is no “ladies who lunch” tea sandwich topper. This is a punchy, sock-in-the-mouth spread chock-full of spicy radishes and pungent scallions. Smear it on crackers or toasted baguette slices for a zingy and quick appetizer.

1
Clean and trim the radish bulbs of any errant leaves or roots. Coarsely grate the radishes with a box grater or food processor disc.
2
Wring the excess water out of the grated radishes using cheesecloth, a kitchen towel, or paper towel. (They’re more watery than you think!)
3
Stir the radishes, scallions, softened butter, and salt together with a fork or pastry blender. Add more salt if needed.
4
Scrape the butter into a serving dish and refrigerate for an hour to allow the butter to re-firm slightly.
