Leek Radicchio Sauce Recipes

SAUTEED RADICCHIO

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Trim off and discard any brown part of the stem end of the radicchio. If the outside leaves look a bit beat up, feel free to remove and discard those as well.
• Cut the radicchio head into quarters.
• Cut out and discard the core from each quarter.
• Cut the quarters into bite-size pieces. To keep things as pretty as possible, consider leaving the pieces fairly large.
• Heat a large frying pan or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
• Add the radicchio, sprinkle with salt, and stir to coat the leaves with the oil.
• Cook, stirring frequently until the radicchio is tender to the bite and starting to brown just a bit, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer the radicchio to a serving platter or individual plates. Sprinkle with more salt or a finishing salt, such as Maldon , if you like. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Enjoy.
