Radishes and butter are a classic French pairing, so why not make a whipped butter radish tower? Paper-thin radishes are the perfect peppery pop this creamy whipped herbed butter needs. Spread across crispy ciabatta bread toasted in olive oil, there's just no beating it.
Trim the green tops of the radishes just above the root bulb. Give them 15 minute ice bath to crisp them up.
6,8 french radishes
Storing trimmed radishes fully submerged in water is the best way to keep them fresh. If you have done this, you can skip the ice bath.
While the radishes soak, add room-temperature butter, heavy cream, and lemon zest to a bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip on low for 1-2 minutes. Take a moment to scrape the sides, and continue mixing on high for more 4-5 minutes. You are looking for light and fluffy.
oz unsalted butter
tbsp heavy cream
lemon
Shave your radishes very thin, preferably with a mandoline. Pat dry very well.
Add a little over 1/4 of the butter to a serving plate, sprinkle about 1 tsp of chives, and some flaky salt. Repeat this 3-4 times, making each layer a little smaller than the last so you end up with a butter tower.
cup chives
flaky salt
Arrange your sliced radishes around your butter tower like in the picture.
Serve the whipped butter radish tower alongside your olive oil toasted ciabatta slices. Enjoy!
