Simply French Radishes With Butter And Fleur De Sel Recipes
SIMPLY FRENCH! RADISHES WITH BUTTER AND FLEUR DE SEL
A classic French way of serving radishes, simple and yet so good; crunchy radishes are simply served with fresh butter and sea salt. I like to serve mine with Fleur de Sel, which is the caviar of French sea salts. You will be offered this in most French homes as an aperitif snack or as an appetiser before a meal. All that is needed is some traditional French bread to accompany it for a light lunch or supper dish. Table salt is fine if you cannot source Fleur de Sel or a good sea salt. (Information on Fleur de Sel: Many consider fleur de sel, which means "flower of salt" in French, the finest type of sea salt available. Its price reflects its high quality, as it costs about 10 times more than your average sea salt and 100 times more than table salt. The delicacy with which it is hand-harvested accounts for much of the expense. Fleur de sel floats on the surface of shallow salt water marshes and is scraped off with a special rake called a lousse à de fleur. The raking must be done carefully by hand to prevent mixing the fleur de sel with the coarse gray salt beneath it. France harvests most of the world's fleur de sel, with the town of Guérande possibly being the most famous producer. Fleur de sel has a higher mineral content than table salt, a natural greyish hue, a moist texture and a violet-like fragrance. Sprinkle it on food before serving to enliven flavours.)

Steps:
- Wash and gently dry your radishes. Snip the leaves off, or leave them on if they are very fresh.
- Serve the radishes with slightly softened butter and a bowl of fleur de sel sea salt or table salt.
- If you wish to serve this as a light supper or luncheon dish, serve with crusty bread.

RADISHES WITH BUTTER AND FLEUR DE SEL
Imagine a garden. In it are Black Spanish, Burpee, Champion, Cherry Queen, China Rose, Early Scarlet Globe, Easter Egg, French Breakfast, Fuego, Icicle, Plum Purple, Snow Belle, Tama- all radishes. The best way to eat all of them, to savor their isothiocyanate heat, to luxuriate in their woody density, is with butter and salt. The silken texture of the butter plays off the radishes' crunch, and the two take a honeymoon together, visiting the sultry destinations of spiciness and cream. Fleur de sel is the key. Its moistness helps its crystals ride out the voyage long enough for the radish and butter to make their cquaintance in your mouth. It also lends mineral richness and texture to both. Fleur de sel, a pat of butter, and a radish- a poem penned by summer.

Steps:
- If the greens on your radishes are pretty, leave them on; if not, trim off the greens. If your radishes aren't completely dry, the butter will not cling to them. Arrange the radishes on a plate. Put the butter on the plate or in a small crock and the fleur de sel in a small pile on the plate or in a small dish.
- To eat, spread a thin film of butter on a radish, sprinkle with fleur de sel, and insert into your mouth.
- Possibly the best way to experience the pleasures of artisan salt is to use it on the simplest of foods. Make toast, butter your toast, sprinkle with a pinch of fleur de sel, and bite. A shimmer of salt, a wave of butter, a harvest of grain, and your mouth is alive. Which brings me to my point:
- Never, ever, ever buy salted butter. Ever. Why sully your butter with the refined industrial salt invisibly blended into butter when instead you could bless each bite with a kiss of fleur de sel and ascend to paradise?
- Of course, never, ever, ever is a long time. If you go to France and have a chance to buy beurre salé, a lovingly crafted butter typically using cream from grass-pastured cattle in Normandy combined with top-notch fleur de sel from south of Brittany, do so. Beurre salé is to mass-produced salted butter what fresh sushi is to frozen fishsticks. If you are like me, you will just grab a baguette, find a park bench, and sit there, watching the lovers stroll by and making sweet, sweet romance with your butter and bread.
RADISHES WITH SWEET BUTTER AND KOSHER SALT
As is always the case with such a simple idea, success is in the quality of the ingredients. Cull any overgrown, cottony, spongy radishes, and keep the good ones fresh with ice and clean kitchen towels. Keep your butter at the perfect temperature, and be graceful on the plate, please.

SLICED RADISHES AND WATERCRESS ON BUTTERED FICELLE
_Ficelle_, a slender demi-baguette available mostly from artisanal bakeries, makes elegant slices, but any narrow French baguette will work. For added indulgence, use a European-style butter such as Plugrá or Insigny St.-Mère. What to drink: Brut Champagne (or sparkling wine) sets a festive tone and can be poured throughout the meal.
