RADISHES WITH SWEET BUTTER AND KOSHER SALT

Radishes With Sweet Butter and Kosher Salt image

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.
