Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 12m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large heads radicchio, about 8 ounces each
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 to 2 ounce chunk of pecorino or Parmesan

Steps:

  • Cut each radicchio through the core into 4 even wedges. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Place the radicchio, cut-side down, in the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Sear the radicchio until the bottoms brown and wilt slightly, about 3 minutes. Turn the wedges over and sear the other sides, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the radicchio to a plate. Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan and boil until syrupy and reduced by about half, about 1 minute. Return the radicchio to the pan and toss to glaze with the balsamic syrup. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the radicchio among 4 plates. Using a vegetable peeler, shave large pieces of cheese over the top. Serve warm.

BEET AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND PISTACHIOS



Beet and Radicchio Salad With Goat Cheese and Pistachios image

Here's a hearty roasted beet salad that doesn't take hours to make. Cutting the beets up into small cubes shortens the cooking time and results in all over caramelization that you don't get with roasted whole beets. By the time you're finished prepping the rest of the salad, the beets will be done.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 appetizer-size servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds red beets, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 head radicchio, cut into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups)
1 large head endive, cut into bite-size pieces (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
4 ounces bucheron or other goat cheese, cut into cubes
2/3 cup shelled, toasted pistachios, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the beets, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 tablespoon vinegar, and some salt and pepper. Arrange beets in a single layer on baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake until tender and golden around edges, about 30 minutes more. Cool; transfer to a small bowl.
  • With mortar and pestle, or the back of a knife, mash garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt to form a paste. In a small bowl, whisk together with remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, then remaining 6 tablespoons oil and the tarragon. Season with pepper and additional salt, if necessary.
  • Toss beets with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. In a large bowl, combine radicchio, endive and parsley. Toss with remaining vinaigrette. Add beets and goat cheese, and toss gently. Serve garnished with pistachios.

RADICCHIO AND BEET SALAD



Radicchio and Beet Salad image

Radicchio belongs to the chicory family. Sweet and bitter at the same time, it is delicious in salads, braised alone, in risotto, and for making pasta sauces. On my recent trip to the Salinas Valley in California, I was astounded to see how radicchio prospered, and how much of it was being produced.

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch beets, with greens (about 4 medium beets)
1 head radicchio, cut into 1/2-inch shreds (about 8 ounces)
6 ounces mild provolone or white cheddar, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Trim the beet stems, leaving about 1 inch of the stems on the beets. Reserve the greens. Put the beets in a pot, and fill with water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, and cook until the beets are almost tender, about 30 minutes. Add the trimmed beet greens, and cook until the beets and greens are tender, about 15 minutes more. Drain and let cool.
  • Peel the cooled beets, and slice them into 1/4-inch half-moons, then put them in a serving bowl. Squeeze out the excess liquid from the beet greens, and chop coarsely. Combine with the shredded radicchio and provolone or cheddar, and toss them into the serving bowl. Drizzle with the vinegar and olive oil, and season with salt. Toss well again, and serve.

PAN-SEARED RADICCHIO WITH SOFT CHEESE



Pan-Seared Radicchio With Soft Cheese image

Is there a vegetable more perfectly sized for two people than a single head of radicchio? Not much bigger than a softball and wonderfully bitter, radicchio tastes otherworldly when seared briefly in a skillet, gaining a roasted kale-like savoriness while maintaining most of its crunch. A funky, strong-flavored soft cheese like Camembert or taleggio melts gloriously in the hot pan and, with a bit of sherry vinegar and honey, creates a makeshift dressing. This easy but luxurious recipe proves that you don't need much for a stellar appetizer: just a pan, a few ingredients and a hunk of crusty bread to sop up the salty, bittersweet juices.

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head radicchio (8 to 10 ounces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper
4 ounces Camembert, Brie or taleggio cheese, cut into wedges or large chunks
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Quarter the radicchio head lengthwise and slice the hard white core off of each piece, then cut each quarter in half crosswise. Don't separate the leaves.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the oil and carefully nestle the chopped radicchio into the pan, leaving it alone to sear on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir for a few seconds. The radicchio leaves may separate and start to smell like roasted broccoli or kale. Immediately remove the pan from the heat so the leaves don't wilt too much. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the cheese, placing some pieces directly over the radicchio and others in the empty spots of the pan. The cheese will start to melt and bulge slightly. Drizzle the vinegar and honey evenly over the radicchio and cheese, and finish with a final sprinkling of salt, if you'd like.
  • Serve right in the pan with crusty bread for dipping into the melty cheese and pan juices.
