RECEIPTS
Radicchio is a mildy bitter tasting leafy vegetable. It is
actually Italian Chicory.
The most popular varieties include radicchio di Verona which looks like a small head
of red lettuce and radicchio di Treviso that looks a bit like a red version of Belgium Endive. This
vegetable is very popular in Italy and has gained in popularity in the
United States in the last few years. It is eaten raw with just a bit
of olive oil and salt, as well as mixed into a variety of salads. You
may also see it on menus grilled or roasted or combined into other
dishes such as risotto.
