Directions
  • Rinse greens, removing any brown or damaged areas. Coarsely chop potatoes and onion.
    Remove the zest (yellow part only) from the lemon, then juice the lemon.

    heat oil and butter. Add onion and potatoes, cook for about 5 minutes. Add water or broth, the
    radish tops and  1 teaspoon salt. Cook until potatoes are soft and greens are wilted, about
