Ingredients
- 4Treviso radicchios or 2 to 4 small round radicchios, halved lengthwise, or 1 large round one, quartered
- ¼cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
- 2tablespoons balsamic vinegar, plus more as needed
- Coarse sea salt
- black pepper
- 2anchovy fillets or to taste, drained
- 2tablespoons olive paste or tapenade
Preparation
- Step 1
Arrange the radicchio cut side up in a baking dish. Drizzle with ¼ cup olive oil and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Step 2
Prepare a grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Brush and oil the grate. Place the anchovies in a small bowl and mash with a fork. Add the olive paste or tapenade and mix.
- Step 3
Arrange the radicchios on the grill cut side down slightly on the diagonal to the bars of the grill grate. Grill until lightly browned, 6 to 10 minutes, rotating each radicchio a little halfway through to create a crosshatch of grill marks. Baste with some of the marinade.
- Step 4
Turn the radicchios over. Spread each with a little anchovy and olive paste. Continue grilling and basting until a skewer or knife pierces the radicchio easily, about 3 minutes more.
- Step 5
Transfer to plates. Drizzle with a little fresh olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
