Time: Approximately 20 minutes

Ingredients:
1 60 gram uni tray
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted cultured butter, at room temperature
1 t yuzu juice
1 t + a pinch Piment d'Espelette (dried, ground Espelette pepper)
3 fresh shiso leaves, finely minced
1 t chives, finely minced

Preparation:

Whip butter, half the sea urchin, yuzu juice, Piment d’Espelette, and shiso leaf until evenly incorporated.
Transfer uni butter to a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a log.
Tightly tie off each end and chill overnight to allow flavors to marry.

Arrange sliced radish, cucumber, and baguette around the butter. Enjoy!
