Grilled Radicchio
Serves: 4
Bitter radicchio mellows as it cooks with a garlicky marinade,
but it keeps its distinctive bite. Delicious with grilled fish or marinated, grilled tofu. It
also works a first course for a fancy meal.

Preparation
Cut radicchio heads into quarters, and place in a shallow dish.
Place remaining ingredients (except for basil for garnish) into a small
dish. Pour over radicchio quarters. Marinate for 15–30 minutes.
Preheat charcoal or gas grill.
Place each quarter of radicchio on grill and cook, turning with tongs.
The radicchio will wilt somewhat, and turn brown at the edges.
Remove from heat and pour remaining marinade over the wilted and
slightly browned radicchio. Arrange basil leaves in an attractive pattern around the
radicchio.
