Ingredients

  • 1 Large head of radicchio (about the size of a grapefruit, or two smaller ones)
  • .25 cups Olive oil (divided)
  • 1 tbsp Local honey
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice (from one lemon)
  • .25 cups Golden raisins
  • .25 tsp Cracked black pepper
  • .25 tsp Sea salt (to taste)
  • .25 cups Toasted, chopped pecans
  • 1 Medium orange (supremed)

Instructions

  • Preheat your outdoor grill to high. You may also use a cast-iron grill pan for this if the weather is nasty or you don't have a grill. Just preheat the grill pan over high heat. (Be warned! Cast-iron can get pretty smoky, so turn on the vent-a-hood.)
  • Next, slice the large radicchio into quarters leaving the root-end intact so that the leaves do not separate. Drizzle cut radicchio with 1/8 cup of the olive oil.
  • Grill the radicchio for about 20-30 seconds per side. You want grill marks and a smoky flavor, but you don't want to burn it all up. Remove radicchio from the grill to a plate in order for it to rest while you make the dressing.
  • Place the honey and lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk as you add the remaining 1/8 cup of olive oil. Add the raisins, pepper, and salt to taste.
  • To assemble the salad, place once quarter of the grilled radicchio on each plate and press it with the palm of your hand. This will spread the leaves out just a bit to make a nicer presentation. Divide the dressing, walnuts, and supremed orange slices among the salads. Add sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
