Grilled Radicchio with Balsamic Glaze
Grilled Radicchio with Balsamic Glaze
This recipe comes from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. It would be delicious sprinkled with some blue cheese.
1 lb Radicchio, cored and quartered
1 TB sunflower oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 TB honey
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your grill to a moderately high heat. Brush the radicchio with the oil, taking care to keep the wedges in tact. Stir the honey into the vinegar and set aside. Place the radicchio wedges on the grill, cut sides down. Grill for a minute or two, then turn and brush (or drizzle) with the vinegar mixture. Cook until just starting to crisp and char around the edges, another couple of minutes. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature. Sprinkle with blue cheese, if desired.

Roasted Potato Salad
The toasted mustard seeds in the dressing make this potato salad something special. If you've got some grilled radicchio on hand, toss in about a quarter head thinly sliced. Both the color and the crunch will be welcome additions. Serves 4.
3-4 cups leftover roasted potatoes
1 TB brown mustard seeds
1/4 cup good mayonnaise, homemade or Hellmann's
3 TB cider vinegar
2 TB Dijon mustard
1/2 cup chopped pickles
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 hard boiled egg, chopped
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
Remove potatoes from refrigerator about 30 minutes before you begin to prepare the dressing. Place them in a medium bowl. Heat small frying pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cook, keeping seeds in the pan moving, until seeds begin to brown, about 30 seconds. Immediately add seeds to mayonnaise in a small bowl. Add vinegar, Dijon, pickles, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Pour over potatoes. Add chopped egg and parsley. Mix to combine.
