I plant radishes every spring, but never quite know what to do with them. As a child, they were a rite of spring, so I always plant them simply to evoke those fond memories. I have been wanting to find a better way to enjoy them other than simply eating them sprinkled with salt, so I was thrilled not only to discover this recipe, but to LOVE it! The butter tempers the overpowering spiciness of the radishes, resulting in a truly delightful flavor.
