I love this! I just posted my mustard butter and am off to the market to see if I can find fresh mustard greens to add to what I made yesterday.
Thanks, Sagegreen! I love butter, too! Your recipe sounds delicious.
This sounds very French and delicious!
oui oui, madame! Merci! (and that's the extent of my french.)
This looks killer! I got some beautiful French breakfast radishes yesterday at the farmer's market and plan to use them with this recipe. Thanks!
Thank you for your creative approach! A substantial piece of bread covered with butter, then radish slices and a touch of coarse salt (like fleur de sel) has long been a favorite. So understated, so exquisite. But you have taken it to the next level. Juniper berries? I will have to try this.

Oh, this is exactly what I have been craving! I am so on this. Thanks!
