Select a step number to highlight that step.

In a medium saucepan, melt Organic Valley® Salted Butter over medium heat. Once melted, swirl the pan occasionally. You’ll start to see the butter foam. Continue cooking for about 4-5 minutes, until the butter begins to turn golden brown with a nutty aroma.

Tips

  • Watch the butter closely as it can go from brown to burnt quickly.

Once browned, remove the saucepan from heat and add thyme and smashed garlic clove. Let it steep for about 1 minute, then remove the garlic and thyme.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the radishes to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp. Stir occasionally. Add the spring peas and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until the peas are bright and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips

  • For a softer texture, cover the pan for a couple of minutes when cooking the radishes and peas, allowing them to steam a little before browning.

Pour the brown butter over the radishes and peas in the skillet, stirring gently to coat. Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Transfer the glazed radishes and peas to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives, and a sprinkle of lemon zest as desired.

Tips

  • For a different flavor profile, feel free to experiment with rosemary or tarragon-infused brown butter.

  • This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, such as chicken or lamb, or can be served as a light main with a side of crusty bread.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when butter is properly browned?

Properly browned butter will have a nutty aroma and a golden-brown color with little brown bits at the bottom of the pan. It will no longer foam actively.

Can I use other spring vegetables in this recipe?

Absolutely! Spring carrots, asparagus tips, or even new potatoes would all work beautifully. Just adjust cooking times as needed for each vegetable.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

You can prepare the radishes ahead of time but add the snap peas just before serving for the best texture and color.
