Grilled red Treviso Radicchio - Traditional Recipe

12 heads of Radicchio
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Choose radicchio with firmly closed leaves, approx. 15 cm long. Pare down the root and cut the radicchio in
half, then carefully wash and dry.
Marinate the radicchio for five minutes in the oil, salt and pepper,  then arrange on a sandwich grid and grill slowly on each side (with barbeque); or place under a  hot grill (oven) making sure to turn the radicchio at least once. Take care to brush the radicchio leaves with olive oil before turning so that they do not dry out.
