Method

  1. Fry the bacon lardons in a dry medium frying pan over a medium-high heat until crisp, then set aside. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat, then cook for 5 minutes or until you see brown flecks in the bottom of the pan. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Pound the anchovies and lemon juice to a paste in a pestle and mortar. Stir into the melted butter.
  3. Put the radishes in a large roasting tin, then pour over half the anchovy butter and toss. Keep the remaining butter warm over a low heat. Roast for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through. Toss with the rest of the butter, the fried bacon and chives, then serve with lemon wedges.

  1. This dish makes a great side to serve with roast chicken instead of roast potatoes. For a supper on its own, flake in grilled smoked mackerel fillets.

    Instead of chives, roughly chopped fresh mint or coriander would also work well. If your radishes still have the leaves attached, roughly chop and stir in just before serving.
