Compound Butter and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Lemon-Poppy Seed Compound Butter

    In a mixing bowl, soften the unsalted butter to room temperature. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and poppy seeds. Mix until well combined and creamy.

  2. 2

    Shape the Compound Butter

    Transfer the mixed butter onto a piece of parchment paper. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends to seal. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Radishes

    Wash and trim the radishes. Cut them into quarters or slices, depending on your preference.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the baguette into desired thickness. Optionally, you can toast the slices for added texture.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Place the chilled compound butter on a serving plate. Arrange the radish slices and baguette pieces around it. Sprinkle Maldon salt over the radishes and serve.
