Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ lb radishes (about 2 bunches), tops removed and reserved
  • 1 ½ TBS unsalted butter
  • cup lower-salt chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 TBS cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Trim the radishes and slice them crosswise into ⅓-inch-thick rounds. Trim and discard the stems from a small handful of the tops, wash the leaves thoroughly, pat dry, and then finely chop enough to measure 2 tablespoons. (Save the rest of the tops for another use.)
  • In a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the radishes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the radishes are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Uncover, raise the heat to high, and add the vinegar, sugar, and ½ tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced to a glaze, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Garnish with the chopped leaves and serve.
