Author Notes

While its not hard to recklessly toss away the green tops of daikon radishes & beets when they're store bought, the whole equation changes when you've grown the vegetable yourself or if the produce is fresh & Organic to boot. I've made this dish multiple times with various greens that adorn root vegetables, Home grown Radish, or a bunch of golden beet greens from Whole foods. Its a great way of getting 2 dishes from one produce. A great healthy deal! —Panfusine

Tried this recipe tonight. I also could not stand the thought of wasting all those greens - and they are not so good in the juicer. I liked the recipe - will crush the fenugreek next time. The greens were not spicy at all. Very mellow dish. Yum.

I've made this twice now, enjoyed it! The 2nd time I added some snow peas cut in diagonal strips, and extra water to let the potatoes cook through. Remembered the lemon juice this time, but forgot the sugar .. Whatever I do, it's so good.

I can see how you wouldn't want to waste one bit of your harvest -what a great way to use them.

The greens are really nutritious to boot and home grown just makes it all the more tastier!

Love your spicing with this. So nicely balanced with the lemon, too. I would not have thought to use sugar with this, but I bet is is great.
