Seared Radicchio With Balsamic And Parmesan Recipes

SHREDDED RADICCHIO WITH PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO

Steps:

• Using the fine holes of box grater, grate about 1 cup cheese onto a plate.
• Remove and discard outer leaves of radicchio. Cut heads in half, and remove core. Using a sharp knife, shred radicchio.
• Place shredded radicchio in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, and toss well to combine.
• Divide the radicchio among four salad plates, mounding it up in the center of each plate. Sprinkle reserved Parmigiano-Reggiano over each mound, and serve.

ROASTED BALSAMIC RADICCHIO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Rinse radicchio wedges in cold water; gently shake off excess water (do not dry completely). Place radicchio in large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
• Arrange radicchio wedges, 1 cut side up, on rimmed baking sheet. Roast until wilted, about 12 minutes. Turn over and roast until tender, about 8 minutes longer.
• Arrange radicchio on platter, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and serve.

SAUTEED RADICCHIO WITH HONEY AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Rinse radicchio (leave some water still clinging to leaves). In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add radicchio and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add vinegar and honey and stir to combine.

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.
