An open-faced sandwich of butter, radishes and fresh herbs was an old French countryside tradition. This French radish sandwich recipe gives it a modern twist, and is a cheat’s delight – as it uses Boursin topped with radishes instead. It’s also a great healthy lunchbox filler.
For the evening or a leisurely lunch, food and drink expert Fiona Beckett, suggests matching it with a delicious cider: ‘You might not think of cider as French but it’s hugely popular in Brittany, Normandy and down in the south-west of France near the Spanish border. The gentle sweetness of apple-flavoured drinks works perfectly with these soft garlicky cheese and crunchy radish sandwiches, for the perfect picnic. If you’d prefer something soft, the French make lovely old-fashioned lemonades – perfect for all the family with this simple, delicious picnic sandwich. Lemon always plays well with herbs and garlic.’
Ingredients (serves 1)
3-4 radish or French breakfast radish
2 slices of seeded bread
1tbsp Boursin cheese
Handful of lamb’s lettuce
Method
Slice the radish into quarters.
Spread one slice of bread with Boursin, lay the radish slices on top and add the lamb’s lettuce before sandwiching the second slice of bread on top.
