I remember as a child looking at German Cookbooks and magazines and often seeing pictures of sliced radishes on buttered heavy grain bread.  Yuck!  As a kid, radishes were definitely not in my repertoire. My how things change.  I actually love that super grainy bread, and chive butter with sliced radishes sounds delicious.  Here is a recipe for the chive butter with radishes from Martha Stewart, perfect for this week’s share.  She did it very fancy and piped the butter on to the radish halves. I am not so fancy!

4TB unsalted Butter, softened

1 TB Chives, finely chopped, plus more for garnish

1 bunch Radish, washed, trimmed and halved lengthwise

Coarse Salt, for serving

Mix butter and chives in bowl.  Transfer to small pastry bag fitted with a #70 leaf tip.  Pipe butter onto radish halves.  Serve on a bed of coarse salt.  Like I said above, I am not fancy, I will spread the yummy butter onto some yummy bread, put slices of radishes on top and sprinkle with a bit of coarse salt.
