The Unexpected Ingredient Justin Chapple Uses In Radish Tartines

It's not lost on Justin Chapple that his radish tartines look a lot like avocado toast. Chapple begins his "Mad Genius Tips" video for making radish tartines by alluding to the breakfast food that may have reached an obsession level for some, and announcing "I've got another toast for you to fall in love with." For this toast, the grassy-colored spread isn't avocado but green butter.

The picturesque – or, as Chapple comically describes them, "radishing" – tartines are made using radishes and Japanese turnips in two different ways. According to Food & Wine, in addition to being sliced thinly and used to create a striking topping in Chapple's recipe, the greens of the veggies aren't simply tossed in the garbage. Instead, they are saved and "whipped into green butter."

Food & Wine describes the resulting whipped butter as "flavorful," and the greens that are used could be at the root of the taste upgrade. According to The Sophisticated Caveman, radish greens have a "subtle peppery flavor" while turnip greens are "equally as tasty." With that in mind, we can't help but imagine what this colorful spread could do for a butter board! (It would make it that much butter, obvs.)
