Ingredients

  • 4 SERVINGS
  • 1 bunch radishes
  • 9 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 8 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
  • 4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 8 thin slices crusty bread, toasted
  • 4 teaspoons chopped parsley.

Preparation

Step 1

Remove leaves and stems from radishes; trim the tails.

Cut larger radishes lengthwise into sixths and smaller radishes lengthwise into quarters.

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.

Add 1 tablespoon oil, radishes in a single layer (do not crowd) and salt and pepper.

Cook radishes, without moving them, until they are lightly colored on undersides, about 3 minutes. Shake pan and continue cooking until tender, about 3 more minutes.

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter.

Stir in anchovies, garlic, red pepper and remaining oil. Reduce heat and simmer about 4 minutes.

Brush each slice of toast with sauce and top with several radish wedges.

Spoon additional sauce on top, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
