Radish Butter on Toasted Baguette

I have some radishes in my box this week. I was using them for salads; but, I also wanted to try something new with them.

I searched the usual sites and cookbooks and found an interesting recipe from Martha Stewart. It also looked really quick and easy; so, I decided to make it for lunch on Saturday. This recipe is very simple. You just grate some radishes on a box grater, mix them with butter, put them on toasted baguette slices and sprinkle salt and pepper on them.

Simple and elegant. This recipe is so Martha. It is a great quick lunch or would be nice to leave out for guests as they arrive at a party maybe with some Prosecco (I love the bubbly). It also would make a nice midnight (or relatively late night) snack.
