The oven-baked stuffed green radicchio is a very tasty and flavorful vegetarian side dish, with simple slightly bitter leaves stuffed and coated with a few ingredients that make this vegetable very crunchy and appetizing.
The recipe is very simple: just sprinkle the leaves both inside and out with a mix of flavored breadcrumbs, pine nuts, provolone cheese, and a drizzle of oil, then bake in the oven.
The appearance is really inviting; the pine nuts, the golden crust, and the melted provolone make a simple vegetable a tasty and complete dish.

You can also replace the green radicchio with a head of lettuce, canasta, or curly endive.
