Together with some staple items I have in my kitchen, radicchio can be salad or a pasta "sauce."
This is how I've been preparing it:
Radicchio Salad1 head radicchio chopped
half cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup currents
1/4 cup walnuts
1/2 apple, thinly sliced
1/2 avocado chopped small
juice of half a lemon
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Toss all ingredients, add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with crusty bread.
Radicchio Pasta
1 head radicchio chopped
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
half cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2-3 tbsp olive oil
pasta (I used spaghetti)
Heat olive oil and garlic in a pan (careful not to burn garlic)
Add radicchio and saute until limp - about 10 minutes
Add cooked pasta to the pan with the radicchio and toss
Serve with a sprinkling of blue cheese and walnuts
