Sautéed Chicory image

This is a quick and delicious side dish for any season, as chicory is available year-round. Radicchio, a red-leaf chicory, adds a contrasting bitter note as well as a splash of color.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped (optional)
1 head radicchio (about 10 ounces), trimmed and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 bunch chicory (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and roughly chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Balsamic vinegar, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the anchovies, and cook 1 minute. Add the radicchio and chicory; sauté until slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving platter, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
