• 1 liter water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. Wash the radishes thoroughly under cool running water to remove dirt. Trim off the tops and roots, then halve or quarter them depending on size to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

2. Add 1 liter of water to a medium-sized pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Stir in the teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

3. Carefully add the prepared radishes to the boiling water. Lower the heat to medium and boil for 8-10 minutes, or until the radishes are fork-tender.

Step 4

4. Drain the radishes using a colander, shaking off any excess water.

Step 5

5. Return the drained radishes to the pot and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir gently over low heat until the butter melts and coats the radishes evenly.

Step 6

6. Transfer the radishes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if using, and serve warm.
