Tuna and Maserà Radicchio in Saor.
An amazing main course, and if I, a Sicilian, tell you this, you must believe me.
I didn’t know this vegetable, and calling it just a vegetable seems almost insulting to this splendid creation of nature, the Rose of Maserà, which is perfect for multiple recipes. I didn’t know it, but today when I went to the market, its appearance pleasantly intrigued me. So I asked myself, what is it? and above all, how to cook it? I tasted its raw leaves, and recipes came to mind that I hope you will enjoy. A first course and a main course.
You will find the recipe prepared in a traditional way and then prepared with the Bimby.

Preparation: Tuna and Maserà Radicchio in Saor

In this dish, the essential primary ingredients are 2: tuna and…
the white radicchio “the rose of Maserà”
Both should be fresh and fragrant.
Let’s start by removing the outer skin from the tuna slices.
Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan over high heat, and let it heat up well.
Sear the fish slices for a minute on each side.
Leaving them still red in the middle.
Place them on a serving platter and season them with a grind of pepper and salt.
Meanwhile, in the same pan without washing it….
Add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil,
and add the thinly sliced onions, and let them stew for 4/5 minutes.
Meanwhile, to get ahead, slice the radicchio into strips.
After 4 minutes, drizzle the onion with balsamic vinegar, and let it evaporate.
Usually, apple cider vinegar is used for radicchio, but I wanted to use balsamic because it pairs well with tuna.
When the vinegar has evaporated, it’s time to add the honey, stirring, until it dissolves well.
It’s time to cook the radicchio, sprinkle a little salt on top, stir, and …
Cook covered for 6 minutes, stirring or tossing occasionally. I recommend not adding water; it should cook with its own moisture.
If you see that it has dried out, lower the heat.
At the end of radicchio cooking, place it on the fish slices, and serve.
Here is the Tuna and Maserà Radicchio in Saor ready.
