Tres Simple Part Deux: Radishes and Ficelles
Step One:
Go to the farmers’ market and buy some beautiful radishes (they sometimes have the gorgeous, purple ones). Stop by the bread stand and buy a fresh, thin baguette also known as a ficelle.
Take a stick of butter out of the fridge and bring it to room temperature. Find a pretty bowl and fill it with several generous spoonfuls of fleur de sel or another coarse-grain salt.
Wash the radishes and cut them into thin rounds. Place them on a small plate.
Cut the baguette in half lengthwise and then put the bread back together and cut into 3-4 inch sections. Spread each slice generously with butter.
Arrange the buttered bread on a plate and serve with the radish slices and the fleur de sel. To eat, place the radish slices on the bread and sprinkle with the fleur de sel. Let the radish slices sit for about a minute so the salt absorbs into the radishes. Eat and enjoy!
