RADISHES AND KIMCHI BUTTER

Recipe by Sarah Grueneberg

Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

RADISH AND KIMCHI

1 bunch red radishes with tops

1/2 prepared Napa cabbage kimchi

1 tbsp sesame seeds

BUTTER

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened

1 tbsp sesame seeds

1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chile paste)

1 tbsp Korean chile flake

Juice and zest of 1 lemon

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tsp kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

To prepare the radishes, wash thoroughly, but keep the greens attached. Spin or dry on paper towels. Cut the radishes in half, and place on a platter or plate.

Using a mixer or beaters, whip the butter on high until fluffy. Add all the remaining ingredients, and mix on low until combined. Check for seasoning.

Place the butter in a small bowl and serve with the platter of radishes. Garnish butter with chopped kimchi and sesame seeds.

You can also place the butter in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the butter on top of each halved radish.

Top each radish with a little bit of kimchi and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
