What is in Radishes with Pickled Garlic Whipped Butter?
Radishes
Radishes are crisp, peppery root vegetables that vary in color and size, adding a vibrant crunch to dishes. For this recipe, choose a variety of radishes for visual appeal and varying flavor profiles, such as French breakfast radishes or watermelon radishes. Look for radishes that are firm, with fresh, green tops for the best quality.
Salted Butter
Salted butter is the base of the whipped butter in this recipe, providing a creamy texture and rich flavor. The salt enhances the overall taste of the butter, complementing the savory notes of the pickled garlic. Opt for high-quality, unsalted butter and add salt to taste if using unsalted butter for a more controlled saltiness.
Pickled Garlic
Our house-made pickled garlic from Berry & Brine adds a tangy, slightly acidic bite to the whipped butter. The pickling process mellows the garlic's sharpness while infusing it with a nuanced flavor that enhances the butter's savory profile. Use pickled garlic for its unique taste and texture, ensuring each bite of butter is infused with delightful hints of garlic.
Maple Syrup or Honey
Maple syrup or honey adds a touch of sweetness to balance the savory flavors in the whipped butter. Choose pure maple syrup for its rich, caramel-like sweetness or opt for honey for a floral undertone. Either ingredient will complement the pickled garlic and radishes, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the dish.
Flaky Sea Salt
Flaky sea salt is used to sprinkle over the radishes and butter, adding a crunchy texture and a burst of salty flavor. The flakes dissolve quickly on the tongue, enhancing the taste of each bite. Use a high-quality flaky sea salt for its clean, briny taste and delicate texture.
