Citrus-Radish Relish

INGREDIENTS

1.5 bunches (about 9 oz) radishes
1 orange
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp butter
Sea salt and ground pepper

DIRECTIONS

Trim the stems off the radishes, then cut them into 1/4 inch thick slices. Zest the orange, being careful not to include any of the white pith.

Find a wide shallow pan. Put all the ingredients into the pan and then add water to almost cover everything.

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally until all the liquid has reduced down to a few tablespoons of rich buttery syrup and the radishes are very tender; about 30 minutes.

Serve warm with fish, meat, or bread and cheese.
