How to Make Steamed Buttered Radishes Radis Au Beurre La Vapeur

  1. Trim the leaves and roots from the radishes. Wash quickly under cold running water; do not soak.
  2. Peel and coarsely chop the small yellow onion.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a wide-based pan large enough to hold the radishes in a single layer.
  4. Once the butter foams, add the chopped onion. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Sauté the onions over low heat, gently shaking the pan, until softened but not browned (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Add the prepared radishes to the pan and toss gently with a wooden spoon to coat them in the butter and onions.
  7. Pour in 1/4 cup of cold water. The water should just cover the bottom of the pan.
  8. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and steam for 5 minutes. Do not overcook.
  9. Remove from heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces. Stir gently until melted and incorporated.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  11. Transfer the steamed butter radishes to a heated serving dish and serve immediately.
