Radishes (for me) have always been a thing I eat raw. Give me some dip or maybe a tostada that needs topping and I’m good to go.

But I found myself this year with more radishes than dip and in desperate need of inspiration. I stumbled upon a few recipes that called for braising them, greens and all, with sugar and vinegar creating a delicious glaze and softening their spicy bite.
This particular recipe I borrowed from one of my favorite blogs The Yellow House. Sarah mixed hers into farro and made a salad out of it, but I’ve enjoyed eating them warm alongside grilled pork chops or some other smoky, piggy thing.

Ingredients
- 1 pound radishes with greens attached, rinsed well
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
Instructions
- Trim the greens from the radishes and trim into 1-inch pieces, removing any stemmy parts. Trim root and stem off radishes and quarter them if large or halve them if small.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add radishes and season with salt and pepper. Add radishes and cook without moving for a few minutes or until a nice golden crust forms on one side. Stir and cook a few minutes more. Add greens, sugar, and vinegar and cook a few minutes more until radishes are glazed. Sprinkle with a little more salt and serve.
