This vibrant sautéed radishes and watercress dish offers a refreshing twist on seasonal spring vegetables. While radishes are often relegated to the salad bowl, gently cooking them in butter and olive oil transforms their sharp bite into a mild, succulent flavour with a beautiful silken texture. The addition of fresh watercress provides a lovely peppery contrast that cuts through the richness of the butter, resulting in a sophisticated yet simple side dish.
As a light vegetarian option, this recipe is perfect for pairing with roasted white fish, grilled chicken, or even a soft-poached egg for a nutritious lunch. It is naturally low in carbohydrates and packed with vitamins, making it a healthy choice for those seeking a quick, flavourful accompaniment to a midweek meal. Serve it immediately while the watercress is bright and just wilted for the best results.
