French Breakfast Radishes




Or also called summer radishes. Nice and spicy! Saw these at the farmers market and just thought they looked cool. Like albino alien fingers! Didn't really know what to do with them, so the farmer gave me an old french home comfort recipe. Something like a snack to whip up at home, kind of like an equivalent of a grilled cheese maybe? Sounds really boring... but it was actually quite yummy.

What you need:

Handful of radishes (sliced thinly)
French baguette
Unsalted butter
Crushed salt and pepper

Slather butter on both sides of the bread, pile the radish up high, and crush some pepper and sprinkle some salt on top and enjoy! The really thin radishes give a really good texture as you chew.





*I might want to try it with cream cheese instead of butter next time, and maybe adding some capers and some smoked lox. Or maybe brie and prosciutto...
