Tostadas de Rábano y Mantequilla
Sobre esta receta
Un clásico adorado de bistró francés que demuestra que la comida excelente no necesita ser complicada. Rábanos crujientes y picantes en capas sobre mantequilla fría y cremosa en pan perfectamente tostado — terminado con una pizca de sal marina en escamas. Este es el tipo de merienda que te detiene a mitad de una mordida y te hace preguntarte por qué no comes esto todos los días. La clave es usar la mejor mantequilla que puedas encontrar y cortar los rábanos tan finos como papel para que cada bocado esté equilibrado.
Instrucciones
- 1
Slice the Radishes as thinly as possible — about 1/16 inch thick. A Mandoline works best, but a sharp Knife is perfectly fine. Place them in a small Mixing Bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to make them extra crisp and curl slightly, then drain and pat dry with a paper towel.

Toast the Sourdough Bread slices until deeply golden and crisp on the outside but still with a little chew inside. A Toaster Oven, Broiler, or dry Skillet over ^[medium-high heat] all work well. You want real color — pale toast won't hold up to the toppings.
- 3
While the toast is still warm, spread each slice generously with cold Unsalted Butter — about 1 tablespoon per slice. Use the back of a spoon or a Knife to press it on thickly. The contrast of cold, creamy Butter against warm, crunchy toast is the whole point. Don't let it melt completely.
- 4
Arrange the sliced Radishes over the Butter in a single, overlapping layer, covering the toast edge to edge. If using Lemon Juice, give the Radishes a very light squeeze now for a little brightness.

Finish with a generous pinch of Flaky Sea Salt over each slice. Add freshly ground Black Pepper and snipped Chives if using. Serve immediately — this is best eaten the moment it's assembled.
