Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Mix together salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Place lamb chops on a work surface; press seasoning onto both sides of lamb chops.
- Heat oil in large oven-proof skillet over high heat. Brown lamb well on both sides, 3 or 4 minutes per side. Remove chops from pan; reduce heat to low. Add vinegar, sugar, and anchovies. Cook and stir, breaking up anchovies. Turn up heat to medium and continue stirring until mixture reduces to the consistency of syrup, about 3 minutes. Stir in chicken broth. Raise heat to high. Add rosemary and cinnamon; bring to a simmer. Transfer browned lamb chops to pan and place radishes among the chops. Cover.
- Place skillet in preheated oven. Roast slowly for 1 1/2 hours; turn chops. Continue roasting until meat is just tender and is beginning to separate from the bone, about 1 1/2 additional hours. Turn chops again.
- Raise oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Remove cover from skillet. Roast until meat is falling off the bone and fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove skillet from oven.
- Transfer lamb and radishes to serving platter. Place pan on stove over medium-high heat. Bring sauce to a simmer until it is slightly reduced and thickened, skimming off surface fat. Remove from heat. Add sliced mint and butter. Keep stirring until butter melts. Spoon sauce over lamb and radishes.

Steps:
- If radish tops are intact and in good condition, trim off (leaving a short length of stem attached to radish), wash and set aside. Leave small radishes whole, and cut large ones in half.
- In a medium-size pot melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots and thyme, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add radishes, a sprinkling of salt and pepper and just enough water to cover radishes. Bring to a simmer, and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. If using, add radish tops, and simmer 1 minute more.
- Remove radishes (and tops, if using) to a serving dish, and boil liquid in pot until reduced to about 1/3 cup. Stir in remaining tablespoon butter, season to taste with salt and pepper, and pour over radishes. Garnish with thyme leaves, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right radishes: Smaller radishes, such as cherry belle or French breakfast radishes, are best for braising. They will cook more evenly and have a more tender texture.
- Trim the radishes properly: Trim the tops and bottoms of the radishes, leaving about 1 inch of the stem intact. This will help to prevent the radishes from falling apart during cooking.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the radishes from burning.
- Brown the radishes before braising: Browning the radishes before braising will add flavor and help to develop a crispy crust.
- Add aromatics to the braising liquid: Aromatics, such as garlic, onion, and thyme, will help to flavor the braising liquid and the radishes.
- Simmer the radishes until tender: The radishes should be simmered until they are tender but still hold their shape. This will usually take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the radishes immediately: Braised radishes are best served immediately, while they are still hot and tender.
