Who’s ready for a healthy, tasty treat? RADISH TOAST for everyone!
Every once and a while you come upon a recipe that seems remarkably simple. Then, when you taste it, it exceeds every expectation. RADISH TOAST is something we really think everyone should try.
While testing the classic version – thinly sliced radishes arranged on buttered toast with a sprinkle of kosher salt. We were captivated by the simplicity and pleasing presentation. One bite and we knew why this simple treat has become so beloved in its country of origin, France.
We then thought we’d enrich this post by also offering our take on the concept. With just a few small tweaks to the original, we think we’ve created something equally worthy of your attention.
Here’s why we think everyone should make RADISH TOAST TWO WAYS:
THE RADISH & BREAD
North American foodies are probably most familiar with Cherry Belle radishes with their bright white flesh and vibrant red skins. Although these may be the most readily available, don’t think of them as your only option. Check out the excellent article at GARDENING KNOW-HOW that lists a slew of different types of radishes. Using different varieties will make your culinary pursuits even more enjoyable.
The original bread used to make this recipe is French baguette, with the option of toasting it beforehand. We think the bread used should be left to the maker. Try the recipe with seed bread, multigrain, rye, whole wheat, gluten-free or any other bread that suits your fancy. Just make sure it’s freshly baked.
Here then is how we crafted this story about RADISH TOAST TWO WAYS:
THE CLASSIC
The classic involves taking your favourite fresh bread, toasting and then adding butter before the radishes. We are so impressed with the flavour of this no-nonsense flavour combination. It is so perfect for breakfast, lunch, brunch or an afternoon snack.
WATC VERSION
Our version came together using a fresh bread made with onion that we toasted. We then added a substantial layer of light and fluffy ricotta cheese, and a tiny sprinkle of flavour-forward assorted micro greens. The sliced radishes, salt, a sprinkle of chopped chives and fresh ground pepper complete this taste delight. It might not seem like a big difference from the classic, but trust us, the flavour is fantastic!
Looking to pair our RADISH TOAST with something equally enjoyable? How about our chilled GAZPACHO SOUP or, our CARROT ORANGE SOUP? We love the idea of a soup and sandwich pairing.
A short list of ingredients comes together to create an enjoyable treat – RADISH TOAST TWO WAYS.
