Ingredients:

1.5 pounds mixed radishes

Salt and pepper

4 tablespoons butter

2-3 tablespoons fresh herbs (tarragon or dill work well)

Directions:

Trim the tops off the radishes if they came attached, then wash and cut the radishes in half. Put the radishes in a saucepan and season them well with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup of water and the butter, then bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to just simmer. Cook until the radishes are just tender and serve them with the delicious buttery sauce. Add herbs once plated.
