CHARRED FRENCH BREAKFAST RADISHES | |
9 French Breakfast radishes | |
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil | |
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt | |
BUTTERED BABY GOLD BEETS & PISTACHIO LEMON BUTTER | |
4 Baby Gold beets | |
3 tablespoons salted butter | |
¼ teaspoon soft brown sugar | |
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt | |
juice of ½ lemon | |
2 tablespoons pistachio kernels, roasted | |
STRACCIATELLA DIP | |
3 tablespoons stracciatella | |
½ teaspoon extra virgin olive oil | |
¼ teaspoon multi-floral honey |
This dish uses beautiful heirloom vegetables – radishes and beets that reflect New Zealand’s winter garden offering and are perfect for the season. I highly recommend using ViaVio Stracciatella from Nelson, which is a personal favourite of mine, but any quality stracciatella you can find locally will work great.
SERVED WITH AMARETTO SOUR
Instructions
1. | CHARRED FRENCH BREAKFAST RADISHES |
2. | Heat the oven to 185°C. |

4. | Place the radishes in a bowl, add the oil and salt, and toss to season. |
5. | Chargrill the radishes for 1 minute on each side, then place in the oven for 5 minutes – the radishes should have some crunch once cooked. |

14. | Place the stracciatella, oil and honey in a bowl and lightly whip until combined. |
