Risotto with Radicchio from Maserà

Risotto with Radicchio from Maserà
A fantastic first course, and if I, as a Sicilian, tell you that, you must believe me.
I didn’t know this vegetable, and calling it a vegetable seems almost insulting to me, this splendid creation of nature, the rose of Maserà, lends itself well to many recipes. I didn’t know it, but today going to the market, its appearance pleasantly intrigued me. So I said to myself what is it? and especially how to cook it? I tasted its leaves raw, and this recipe came to mind which I hope you will enjoy.
Moreover, I preferred to use apple and spreadable cheese, to make this dish lighter.
