Grilled Chicory
Ingredients
1 head Escarole
2 heads Belgian Endive
1 head Chioggia Radicchio
¼ cup Pine Nuts
¼ cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
¼ cup Currants
4 oz Parmesan Cheese
¼ cup Balsamic Vinegar
Directions
Cut the Escarole and Radicchio into quarters and cut the Endive in half, lengthwise. Toast pine nuts until light-brown (about 3 minutes).
Prepare a grill or heat a pan over high heat. In a large bowl toss escarole, endive and radicchio with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on heated grill, cut sides down. Cook for 5 minutes without moving, until charred and slightly wilted. Turn and cook uncut sides for about 3 minutes.
Place cooked greens onto plates. Sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon pine nuts, 1 tablespoon currants. Shave parmesan over each plate and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
