The star of this appetizer is the compound butter. Compound butter is simply softened butter that gets mixed with various other ingredients to impart flavor into the butter. This butter gets combined with kalamata olives, thyme, anchovy paste and lemon zest making a briny, salty butter that tastes great spread on a baguette topped with fresh radishes.
