Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat coals.
- Step 2
Cut the radicchio heads in half. Brush all over with half the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Place the radicchio on a rack and grill, turning once, until the leaves are lightly charred and wilted. Sprinkle with the remaining oil, vinegar and thyme leaves and serve.
This goes particularly well with chicken, lamb or tuna.

I've made this many times, the trick is to get fresh radicchio from a reliable source, I've also grilled romaine which some people may prefer more than the taste of radicchio. Fresh is always best....
Tasty. I did not use thyme bcz I had no fresh and dried would have added a weird texture. Toward the end of grilling with cut side up I topped with crumbles of gorgonzola and when on the plate toasted pinenuts. Served with grilled sottofileto (sirloin) and costoluto tomato wedges.
Simple. Healthy. Delicious! Can do in a cast iron skillet too.
This was a quick and tasty side dish to gochujang bbq ribs. They grilled while the ribs rested.
