Radicchio gets its bitter edge tamed by the flame and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar in this crazy recipe.

Go ahead and grill up as much radicchio as you'd like - the instructions here translate to any number.

Grilled radicchio is a delicious – and striking – addition to any grilled vegetable platter.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Yield: Makes 2 - 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 head radicchio
  • 1 - 2 tsp. olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • 1 - 2 tsp. balsamic vinegar

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the grill. Trim and browned edges from the stem of the radicchio. Cut radicchio into quarters. Rub or brush entire radicchio quarters with oil.
  2. Set radicchio one cut-side down on the grill. Cook until edges are well browned, about 4 minutes. Turn to other cut-side, sprinkle cut-side with salt, and cook until entire radicchio is nicely browned and wilted, about 4 more minutes.
  3. Remove radicchio from grill and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
