Name: Bavarian Brotzeit Platter with Radi (White Radish)
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 piece white radishes (radi); 2 tsp salt; 2 tbsp white wine vinegar; 2 tbsp rapeseed oil; pepper to taste; 1 bunch chives; 1 bunch radishes; 200 g Emmental in one piece; 200 g mature mountain cheese; 200 g smoked ham (thinly sliced); 4 piece gherkins; 4 piece pretzels; 60 g butter or margarine; 1 tsp caraway seeds

A German classic from Bavaria: the Brotzeit platter is what sits on the wooden board in the beer garden, namely radi, strong cheese, smoked ham, gherkins and fresh pretzels. The white radish is cut into a spiral and salted until it weeps, which makes it milder; the second one is finely shaved into a radish salad with chives. It is eaten with the fingers, ideally with Obatzda and a cool wheat beer.

Instructions

1
Peel both radishes and cut off the leaf ends.
2
Using a spiral cutter or a sharp knife, cut one radish all the way round at an angle, almost down to the base, and carefully pull it apart into one long spiral.
3
Sprinkle the spiral with one teaspoon of salt and leave it until it weeps and bends easily.
4
Shave the second radish into thin slices and mix with the remaining salt, the white wine vinegar, the rapeseed oil and pepper. Leave the radish salad to sit.
5
Snip the chives into fine rings and fold half of them into the radish salad.
6
Trim and wash the radishes and set them aside with some of their green tops.
7
Cut the Emmental and the mountain cheese into bite-sized pieces and batons, and roll up the slices of smoked ham loosely.
8
Cut the gherkins lengthways into a fan and press them apart slightly.
9
Arrange everything on a large wooden board, add the pretzels and set out the butter or margarine in a small dish. Scatter the radish spiral and the radish salad with the caraway seeds and the remaining chives.
