Grilled radicchio

Side Serves 2 15 min

The bitterness of the leaf is offset by the sweet balsamic for a lovely light side dish. Radicchio doesn't appear in the veg boxes more than a couple of times a year but if you're lucky enough to get it, try this recipe with grilled fish or some creamy buffalo mozzarella.

Ingredients

  • 1 radicchio head
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tbsp marjoram, chopped
  • salt and pepper

Method

Prep time: 5 min
Cooking time: 10 min

  • Step 1

    Remove the outer leaves of the radicchio, halve it and then slice it into wedges about 1.5 cm thick, keeping the leaves joined at the core in each wedge.

  • Step 2

    Whisk together all the remaining ingredients in a shallow bowl to make a dressing.

  • Step 3

    Heat a ridged grill pan (or a barbecue), then grill the radicchio wedges until brown on both sides. As you remove the wedges from the griddle, place them straight in the dressing and mix well.
