Recipe Courtesy
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive
oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons bacon
drippings
1 tablespoon dark brown
sugar
1 tablespoon prepared
mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground
pepper
2 heads radicchio,
quartered
In a small non- reactive
bowl combine all ingredients except radicchio. Whisk until emulsion is formed
and reserve at room temperature.
Place quartered radicchio
onto a hot grill or grill pan. Cook on each side for approximately 2 minutes
per side. You are looking to achieve slightly wilted edges.
Remove from the grill and
place onto a plate. Cover with a stainless steel bowl and allow steam to
continue cooking radicchio for 5 minutes.
Drizzle vinaigrette over
radicchio wedges and serve immediately.
