Shaved Radish Sandwiches With Herb Butter Recipes

SHAVED-RADISH SANDWICHES WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup (1 stick) room-temperature salted butter, 5 mashed drained anchovy fillets, 1 grated small garlic clove, 3 tablespoons each finely chopped fresh chives and fresh tarragon, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest in a small bowl. Season with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Spread herb butter on one side of each of 32 slices of baguette diagonally cut 1/8" thick. Toss 12 very thinly sliced radishes with salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Top half of bread slices with 16 green radish leaves and radish slices. Top with remaining bread slices, butter side down.

RADISHES WITH BUTTER AND SALT

Steps:

• Arrange the radishes on a bed of sea salt. Spread the butter on slices of toasted bread and arrange artfully on a platter. Serve at room temperature.
• Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed until combined. Do not whip.

OPEN-FACED RADISH SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Depending on the shape of the loaf of black bread, trim the slices into small serving sizes. Spread slices with a 1/4-inch thick layer of cream cheese.
• Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice radishes very thin. Overlap radish slices on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle each sandwich with salt and pepper. Cover with a dampened paper towel until serving.

RADISH SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the filling, finely chop the radishes in the food processor (or hand grater). Place in a large sieve or colander. Press with paper towels to drain and squeeze out any excess liquid.
• Cream the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy (I used the food processor); add drained chopped radishes, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and cream again.
• Cut crusts from bread and cut into small squares or rounds. Spread with filling, and garnish with sliced or whole radishes coated with coarse salt.
• Chill thoroughly before serving.

RADISH SANDWICHES WITH BUTTER AND SALT

Steps:

• Slice the baguette lengthwise and then crosswise, creating four quarters. Spread butter on the tops and bottoms of each quarter and sprinkle with salt. Pile sliced radishes onto the bottoms, then lay the arugula on top of them and sprinkle with the herbs. Top the sandwiches and press them down firmly.
• Serve as is, cut into small sandwiches for hors d'oeuvres, or wrap for lunch.
