The baked radicchio is a quick and easy side dish to prepare 🙂
The week started with good weather 😉 finally after much rain a little sunshine.
Oh yes, these are beautiful sunny days, perfect for staying outdoors: during the day the temperatures are warm, only in the morning and evening it is cooler.
This morning after running some errands, I did some shopping before heading home and bought some vegetables and fruits.
Once home, I prepared lunch: as a first course I cooked pasta with cauliflower and as a side dish baked radicchio, and I accompanied it with some turkey slices.
Besides pairing it with meat, it can also be served with fish-based dishes.
To make it more flavorful, you can add some pepper.
I love radicchio, not only with tomatoes but also in main courses and even in savory pies.
This time I wanted to cook it simply: just seasoned with oil and salt.
A tip: if you do not like the bitter taste of radicchio, you can soak it in water with white wine vinegar for 30 minutes before cooking.
