Countdown 5 Radicchio And Grape Salad With Pecorino And Pistachios Recipes

PECORINO WITH HONEY AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Pull the cheese out of the refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving - it should be served at room temperature.
• Chop the hazelnuts coarsely.
• Break pecorino into large bite-size chunks. Place on plate and drizzle with honey. Top with chopped hazelnuts.

BALSAMIC-GRILLED RADICCHIO WITH SHAVED PECORINO

Steps:

• Whisk oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, orange peel, and crushed red pepper in large bowl. Add radicchio and toss to coat. Marinate 15 minutes.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Drain marinade into small bowl. Place radicchio on grill; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill radicchio until edges are crisp and slightly charred, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Transfer radicchio to serving platter. Drizzle with reserved marinade and sprinkle with cheese shavings.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH DATES AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Slice the top and bottom off one of the grapefruits. Stand it up on a cut side and, using a small sharp knife, slice off the peel and pith, following the curve of the fruit. Save the peels (there should be some red fruit clinging to the pith). Repeat with the other grapefruit. Slice both grapefruits into quarter-inch-thick rounds and arrange on a platter. Evenly sprinkle the dates on top.
• Squeeze the juice from the grapefruit peel into a small bowl. You should have about a tablespoon. If there is less, squeeze some from one of the grapefruit slices. Add the shallot and a pinch of salt; let sit for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the radicchio and add to a bowl. Add the shallot and grapefruit juice and toss to combine. Toss in 3 tablespoons of the oil.
• Sprinkle grapefruit slices with salt and drizzle with the remaining oil. Place a mound of the radicchio in the middle of the grapefruit, leaving a border of the fruit exposed. Sprinkle with pistachios and black pepper and serve immediately.
