Dishing Up the Dirt

Scallion Miso Butter with Spring Veggies

One of my absolute favorite springtime snacks is raw veggies served with some butter and sea salt. Simple and oh so good! I didn’t think that combination could be beat until I whipped up this scallion miso butter. This spread is not only delicious served with raw veggies and some toasted sesame seeds, but it tastes amazing smeared onto a thick slice of toast with some thinly sliced radishes. I can imagine this butter would also be great to sauté veggies in or even dolloped on top of hot pasta. The possibilities are endless and I hope you all enjoy this spoon worthy butter as much as we do.
