Radicchio is a red and white leafy vegetable that has a bitter and slightly spicy taste. It is commonly found in Italian dishes and can be cooked or eaten raw. Since peak season for radicchio kicks off in the middle of winter, we thought it would be the perfect time to share some of our favorite radicchio recipes. Enjoying!
1. Farro Bowl with pumpkin, sausage and radicchio

Most of us don’t have the luxury of regularly strolling through Tuscany’s food markets in late September, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy Italian fall flavors at home. This one Farro Bowl with Butternut Squash, Sausage and Radicchio by means of America’s Test Kitchen shows the bounty of an Italian crop with crisp, bitter radicchio and sweet roasted butternut squash on a base of nutty, pleasantly chewy farro (an ancient Mediterranean grain loved in Italy). Beautiful ripe figs give the bowl a honeyed sweetness that is offset by the spicy dressing of Dijon balsamic vinegar. In keeping with the theme, we combine our house-made Italian sausage seasoning with plant-based meats and top each bowl with the resulting sausage-like savory crumble.
2. Salad of plums and radicchio with tahini yoghurt dressing

This one Plum and Radicchio Salad with Tahini Yoghurt Dressing by means of Desiree Nielsen is full of tasty Mediterranean ingredients such as bitter radicchio, sour plums, crunchy walnuts and creamy yogurt. We don’t eat enough bitter greens because our palettes tend to be overly accustomed to salty and sweet foods. Bitter greens like radicchio and rapini stimulate digestion and are a wonderful balm for someone who enjoys sweets. Mint adds an extra layer of flavor to this special salad and helps soothe the gut.
