Radish Sandwiches - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 radishes, trimmed
6 ounces cream cheese (I used low fat)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used Smart Beat Spread)
1 tablespoon parsley, without stems
1 teaspoon chives, snipped
fresh lemon juice
salt
ground black pepper
6 -8 slices pumpernickel bread
Garnish
4 trimmed radishes
coarse salt

Preparation

For the filling, finely chop the radishes in the food processor (or hand grater). Place in a large sieve or colander. Press with paper towels to drain and squeeze out any excess liquid.
Cream the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy (I used the food processor); add drained chopped radishes, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and cream again.
Cut crusts from bread and cut into small squares or rounds. Spread with filling, and garnish with sliced or whole radishes coated with coarse salt.
Chill thoroughly before serving.
