RADICCHIO SALAD WITH ORANGES AND PECORINO

The radicchio is quite bitter, but its bite plays well with the funky anchovies, salty cheese, and sweet orange. When stone fruit is in season, swap out the oranges for lightly grilled sliced plums or peaches.

SERVES 4

1 large head of radicchio

1 navel orange

Anchovy Red Wine Vinaigrette (recipe follows)

2 oz [60 g] pecorino romano cheese

2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves

1/4 cup [30 g] pistachios, coarsely chopped

Remove any loose outer leaves from the radicchio. Cut the head in half through the stem end, cut each half in half, and then cut each quarter in half again. You will have 8 wedges.

To prepare the orange, slice off both ends. Using a sharp knife and slicing downward, remove the peel and white pith and discard. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, cut the segments from the membranes separating them and discard the membranes. Set aside.

Arrange the radicchio in a single layer and drizzle both sides of each wedge with some of the vinaigrette, using 2 Tbsp total. If using a charcoal grill, let the fire die down to medium heat, or heat a gas grill to medium. Grill each wedge until the edges are charred and the radicchio is warm and slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

To assemble, arrange the radicchio wedges on a platter. Drizzle with half of the remaining dressing and then scatter the orange segments on top. Using a vegetable peeler, shave slices of pecorino on top. Sprinkle mint and pistachios over all. Add more dressing if desired. Serve immediately, passing extra dressing at the table.

INDOOR METHOD: Heat a ridged grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Prepare the radicchio and the orange as directed. When the pan is hot, add the lettuce in a single layer (this may take a few batches), cut-side down, and cook until the edges are well charred and the wedges are cooked through. Transfer the radicchio to a platter and proceed as directed.
