grilled radicchio

For this grilled radicchio salad, radicchio is quartered, brushed with olive oil, and grilled until crunchy-soft. It's then tossed with blue cheese and drizzled with a quick vinaigrette. Equal parts sweet and smoky.

Grilled Radicchio Salad

radicchio* (quartered lengthwise)

extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for brushing)

red wine vinegar

balsamic vinegar

Dijon mustard

salt

pepper

Gorgonzola cheese

Preheat

Preheat a gas grill to medium-high or prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill.

Grill

Rinse the radicchio quarters and pat them dry. Brush the radicchio quarters with oil and place the heads on the grill rack. Cover, and cook, turning as necessary, until grill-marked but still crunchy in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Whisk

In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup olive oil, the vinegars, mustard, salt, and pepper. Divide the grilled quarters among plates and crumble the Gorgonzola over the top. Drizzle with the balsamic vinaigrette and serve pronto.

Grilled Radicchio

radicchio (properly rinsed)

olive oil (extra virgin)

salt (to taste, Fleur de Sel)

pepper (to taste)

Preheat grill pan (or outdoor grill) to medium/ medium high heat.

With a very sharp knife, cut each head in half through the root section and then in thirds. If you find that you have a small radicchio, simply cut the whole radicchio in quarters.

Brush the sides of the radicchio with olive oil.

Place on grill and carefully turn the radicchio every minute or so until the leaves begin to wilt. Continue to brush the tops with olive oil. This process should take about 5 minutes.

Transfer the grilled radicchio to a serving plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Serve immediately.
