Bright and bold radicchio, is an Italian relative of  chicory with a bitter, peppery flavour.

Radicchio’s distinctive bitter taste mellows with cooking. Commonly mistaken for a relative of lettuce, they’re actually not related. Think of radicchio as a veggie in the kitchen — meaning don’t forget that you can cook it.

It tastes great in salads , and also grilled or sautéed and served alongside your favourite meat or fish dish.
