ROASTED RADICCHIO



Roasted Radicchio image

Roasting the radicchio mellows its slightly bitter flavor; balsamic vinegar adds a touch of sweetness. You can use either of the popular varieties of radicchio-round Verona or slender Treviso-in this recipe, since they both yield delicious results. Serve the radicchio wedges alongside the pasta.

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.

PANCETTA-WRAPPED RADICCHIO AL FORNO WITH AGED BALSAMICO CONDIMENTO



Pancetta-Wrapped Radicchio al Forno with Aged Balsamico Condimento image

The perfect example of how good a few simple ingredients, combined and prepared correctly, can be. When we can get it, our preferred variety for this is radicchio di Treviso, which has an oblong head. The roasted heads look so pretty lined up on a platter that they make the perfect addition to an outdoor meal served family or buffet style. As always, the quality of the balsamico you use is essential to the quality of the finished dish.

Yield serves 4 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large heads of radicchio
8 thin slices pancetta (about 1/2 pound)
1 tablespoon aged balsamico condimento
Wedge of Parmigiano-Reggiano, for grating

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 500°F.
  • Remove and discard the outer leathery leaves from the radicchio. Cut the radicchio heads in half through the core, leaving the core intact, and cut each half through the core again into four wedges. Starting 1/2 inch below the tip of one radicchio wedge, wrap one piece of pancetta around it, leaving 1/2 inch at the core end of each wedge exposed. Lay the radicchio on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining radicchio and pancetta, making sure the wedges are lined up in a single layer without touching each other.
  • Place the radicchio in the oven to bake for 14 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn the wedges over. Return the radicchio to the oven and bake until the pancetta is crisp and browned in places. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the radicchio to a serving platter, laying the wedges side by side facing alternate directions. Pour the fat rendered from the pancetta from the baking sheet into a small bowl. Add the balsamico, stir to combine with the fat, and drizzle over the radicchio. Use a microplane or another fine grater to grate a light dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano over the radicchio, and serve warm.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 heads radicchio
12 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 pound mozzarella, cut into 16 pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the radicchio in quarters lengthwise, being sure to keep some of the stem attached to each quarter. Trim off any dark bits of stem. Submerge the radicchio quarters in ice water for 1 hour to remove some bitterness. Put a plate on top of the radicchio to keep them under water.
  • In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except the mozzarella. Mix well.
  • Prepare a hot fire in your grill, or heat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Drain the radicchio and place them on paper towels to absorb remaining water. Open up the leaves and spoon the olive oil mixture inside. Place the radicchio quarters on a baking sheet and pour the remaining marinade mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the radicchio until browned on the outside but still raw in the center, 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Be careful, as the oil mixture may flame up.
  • When the radicchio begins to brown, pull from the grill, open up a section of each portion and place a slice of mozzarella inside. Place quarters back onto the sheet pan and place the pan directly on the grill for 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Drizzle any leftover dressing over the top of the grilled radicchio and serve warm.
  • If making radicchio in advance: Before the party, have the radicchio drained and marinated in the vinaigrette in the refrigerator.
