Complement fresh, peppery radishes with good butter and crunchy sea salt for a low-effort yet elegant spring appetizer that’s been perfected by the French. Here, soy-based miso and sesame oil add extra layers of savory, toasty richness.

The heirloom French breakfast radish is sweeter and more delicate in flavor than “hotter” varieties. Select bunches with fresh-looking leaves. Remove the tops, and store them (unwashed) in a damp paper towel in a plastic bag for up to a week. Sauté the greens with pasta or grains, roast them for an easy side, or use them raw in salads.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 Tbsp. white miso

  • 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil

  • Flaky sea salt

  • 2 bunches mixed radishes, for serving

  • Baguette slices, for serving

Directions

  1. Place butter and miso in a small bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended, about 1 minute. Add oil; beat until creamy and blended, about 20 seconds. Transfer butter mixture to a small serving bowl, and sprinkle with salt. Serve butter with radishes and baguette slices.
