Homegrown Radish Tea Sandwiches

Homegrown Radish Tea Sandwiches

My French Breakfast radishes are always dependable. It doesn’t matter how nourished the soil is or how much or little it rains, they always seem to come up — fast. Just a few weeks, and they’re ready to eat. Radishes make me think of the brief time my dad had a garden when I was a kid. The radishes were dependable then, too, and I remember being on the back deck and eating them raw with salt on them.

Fresh from the garden

Another way to eat them that I discovered last year is with creamy butter and salt, including the leaves. Just plop them on the table with coarse salt and butter, and slice it on your plate. The most recent Bon Appetit issue suggested putting them on a sandwich with herbed anchovy butter. I had to try it, immediately.

It was quite nice. The sandwich was not too heavy in spite of all the butter, and the radishes tasted really fresh. I ended up adding more anchovies straight to my sandwich because I like them so much. I had this with green beans, and it was a filling meal.

The lemony herb spread paired perfectly with the radishes
