Ingredients

• 500 g radishes
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the radishes, cutting off both the tops and root ends. Slice the radishes into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 3

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the melted butter and garlic, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the raw flour taste is removed.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the whole milk, about 1/4 cup at a time, to ensure a smooth consistency. Once all the milk is incorporated, add the heavy cream and continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the salt and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Add the sliced radishes to the saucepan, gently folding them into the cream sauce to ensure even coating. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the radishes are tender but still have a slight crunch.

Step 7

Transfer the creamed radishes to a serving dish, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
