Savory Grilled Radicchio

I tried radicchio for the first time last year in a produce box, and have been enamored of it since. I love how it adds a beautiful color and bitter bite to salads when eaten raw, and how smoky and earthy it is when cooked. After much experimentation, I feel confident finally posting a recipe for this wonderful vegetable.

Radicchio is beautiful a bitter leafy green and member of the chicory family, originating from Italy. While it is available at the grocery store year-round, the fall and winter months are when radicchio is in peak season. It’s striking reddish-purple color is a gorgeous addition to any plate!

This recipe uses a long marinade (6-8 hours) before grilling to impart a ton of flavor into the radicchio. Once marinated, this recipe takes only 10 minutes to cook and is a perfect vegan side dish!

Prep Time: 8 hours – Cooking Time: 10 minutes – Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes

Grilled radicchio slowly marinated in an Asian-inspired dressing.

Ingredients

• 3 small radicchio, quartered lengthwise leaving core intact
• 3 tbsp avocado oil
• 2 tbsp agave syrup
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tsp coconut aminos
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Zest and juice of 1 small lime

Instructions

1

In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients except for radicchio. Then pour mixture into a shallow dish large enough to add radicchio quarters.

2

Add the radicchio and turn several times to coat in marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight.

3

Heat grill to medium-high (350-375 degrees F). Remove radicchio from marinade and place directly on the grill.

4

Cook, turning occasionally, until they just begin to wilt and char in spots, 6-10 minutes.

5

Season with a little salt and some cracks of fresh black pepper. Serve warm.
