Cuisine

Known as red chicory, Radicchio Rosso is the heart of Treviso agricultural culture. It is frequently preferred in grilled dishes, risottos, and fresh salads across Italia. It gets its unique slightly bitter and crunchy taste from a special bleaching process in local spring waters.

Ingredients

  • 4 heads of Radicchio Rosso di Treviso
  • 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
  • Optional grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

  1. Cut the radicchio heads lengthwise into quarters, wash gently in cold water and pat dry.
  2. Mix olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and brush over the radicchio pieces.
  3. Cook on a preheated cast-iron grill pan for about 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly softened.
  4. Transfer to a serving plate, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and serve warm.
