RADISH CANAPES LEEDS

Steps:

• Into a bowl finely shred 8 radishes and squeeze out excess liquid. In another bowl stir together cream cheese, herbs, and lemon juice. Stir in grated radishes and salt and pepper to taste. Radish mixture may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Just before serving, spread radish mixture on toasts. Thinly slice remaining radishes and arrange a few slices decoratively on each canapé. Sprinkle canapés with salt to taste.

RADISH, GOAT CHEESE AND BLACK BREAD CANAPES

Steps:

• Spread six slices of bread with the cheese and six with the butter.
• Cover the cheese with a layer of overlapping radish slices. Cover with the buttered bread. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, cut each sandwich in four and arrange the canapes on a platter. Decorate the platter with whole radishes.

ROASTED RADISHES WITH BROWN BUTTER, LEMON, AND RADISH TOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Brush large heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Cut off all but 1/2 inch of green radish tops; reserve trimmed tops and rinse them well, checking for grit. Coarsely chop radish tops and set aside. Cut radishes lengthwise in half and place in medium bowl. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and toss thoroughly to coat. Place radishes, cut side down, on prepared baking sheet; sprinkle lightly with coarse salt. Roast until radishes are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Season to taste with more coarse kosher salt, if desired.
• Melt butter in heavy small skillet over medium-high heat. Add pinch of coarse kosher salt to skillet and cook until butter browns, swirling skillet frequently to keep butter solids from burning, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice.
• Transfer roasted radishes to warmed shallow serving bowl and drizzle brown butter over. Sprinkle with chopped radish tops and serve.

Spread anchovy butter over 1 side of each baguette slice. Top each baguette slice with radish slices, overlapping slightly to cover bread. Garnish with additional chopped chives and serve.
