Ingredients
- 2 Fresh heads of radicchio (or treviso)
- 1 Ball of burrata cheese
- 2 Ripe heirloom tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp Red wine or balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Small bunch of fresh basil
Instructions
- Remove any outer leaves of the radicchio/Treviso. Use a sharp knife to gently shave off about 1/8 inch of the bottom stem – making sure to leave it intact. Carefully cut the head in quarters.
- Lay the heads out on a tray. Sprinkle generously with salt and freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle generously with vinegar and a bit of good olive oil. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hrs.
- While the radicchio is marinating, cut the tomato into nice slices. Place on a platter or on individual plates, Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper and gently sprinkling of oil and vinegar. Allow to marinate while you finish the dish.
- Place radicchio on a hot grill to get some charred leaves and gently wilt the lettuce, but not too long – you don’t really want it to cook too much. Remove from the grill.
- Cut the burrata into 4 pieces. Chiffonade the basil.
- Place the grilled radicchio on the tomato, then the burrata, sprinkle with fleur de sel and fresh pepper, and top with chiffonade of basil.
