Radish in butter is a simple yet refined dish of Russian cuisine that highlights the natural crunch and freshness of radishes while enriching them with the creamy tenderness of butter. This recipe originates from the tradition of Russian appetizers where minimalism in ingredients combines with deep flavor. The butter, lightly whipped to a creamy state, envelops the radish, giving it softness while sea salt subtly enhances its natural sharpness. This appetizer can be served as a standalone treat or alongside fresh bread. It is perfect for summer dinners, picnics, or as an original side dish to meat dishes. The simplicity of this recipe makes it not only accessible but also exquisite in its succinctness.
