I’ve been developing an obsession with radishes this past year or so – as has most of NYC I think ; ).  I’m going to share a few of my favorite radish recipes over my next 3 blog posts – radishes are delicious fresh with a butter dip, in a salsa for tacos or roasted with a little seasoning.  Let me know which is your favorite!

Before I share the first radish recipe, I wanted to share some fun experiences my son and I had over spring break this year.  We went to DC for his first trip, and he had such a blast!

This was one of our favorite photos in the National Geographic Museum exhibit of the best Instagram photos in which they were tagged.

We had a few great meals as well while in DC.  Gluten-free pizza and a delicious tomato soup at Firefly.

                          

And of course a visit around to all the capital city has to offer.

White House

And then of course being silly 🙂

Now I’ll take you on to the great fresh radish with flavored butter

Radishes and Carrots

Fresh Radishes and Carrots with Chive Butter and Flavored Salt

Ingredients

1 bunch radishes

2 – 3 medium size carrots

1 stick of butter

1/4 cup chives, chopped

1/2 cup coarse ground sea salt

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. cayenne pepper

Directions – Chive Butter

Take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften, until it is room temperature and soft enough to mix with a spoon or whisk.

Combine the chopped chives with the butter and mix well.

Either wrap the butter in plastic wrap or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it hardens again.

Directions – Flavored Salt

Combine the coarse sea salt, paprika and cayenne pepper in a small bowl and mix until well combined.

Directions – Vegetables

Chop the radishes and carrots into dipping size portions.

Serve the chopped vegetables with the “dips” and enjoy 🙂
