Radish toast
Submitted by Lori, Yorkville CSAThis one’s super simple. Thinly sliced radishes on buttered toast with a little salt make a beautiful snack or hors d’oeuvre.
Ingredients
- couple slices of your favorite bread
- butter, room temperature
- a few radishes, greens trimmed and reserved for another dish
- sea salt & pepper
- optional: Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cut bread into ¼ inch slices, then toast them. When the slices have cooled, butter them.
- Scrub and slice a few unpeeled radishes, making them as close to paper-thin as you can (using a mandoline, if possible).
- For a beautiful presentation, cut bread into canapé-sized pieces (triangles are nice), then arrange a few slices of radish on top.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and some grated Parmesan if you wish.
Notes
Variations:
- You can use aioli, crème fraîche, or herbed mayonnaise in place of butter.
- Make it a more substantial meal by layering egg salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, or thinly-sliced roast beef on top. The radishes will add some delicious crunch and tang.
