INGREDIENTS

    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 2 green onions, diced into 1/4-inch pieces, white and light green parts only
    • 2 bunches radishes (greens removed), trimmed and sliced in half
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
    • Black pepper, freshly ground
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped, for garnish

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook until it just begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

    2. Add the onion; lower heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 3 minutes.

    3. Add the radishes, salt, sugar, and pepper to taste; stir in the water.

    4. Raise heat to high; heat just to a boil. Cover; lower heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes.

    5. Uncover; raise heat to high. Heat to a boil; cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes.
