Although grilling what's basically lettuce may seem unusual, it's a traditional Italian preparation — and delicious, too. Grilling wedges of this slightly bitter green enhances its flavour. Serve with Balsamic Sirloin Medallions or Peppercorn Thyme T-Bones.
Ingredients
- 1 large (or 2 small) head radicchio lettuce
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar or wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped Italian parsley
Preparation
Keeping root end intact, cut radicchio into 8 wedges. Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to platter.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper; drizzle over radicchio. Sprinkle with parsley.
