How to Make These Radishes

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, add the butter and cook it till browned (about 3 minutes).
• Meanwhile, halve the radishes and rinse the greens well (they can be gritty).
• Add the radishes to the pan and sauté for 10 minutes, flipping them often so all sides cook. 
• Add the lemon juice to the pan (it will steam and spit) and stir the radishes constantly for 10 seconds, then add the radish greens. 
• Cook the greens for about 30 seconds or until wilted. 
• Serve immediately with a pinch of salt and pepper and sprinkled with lemon zest. 

I hope you enjoy these brown butter radishes!
