This looks very nice, Martin. I do a radicchio risotto using white wine with the addition of smoked mozzarella at the end. It is delicious.

Thanks, Martin, I’ll have to try that.

Is radicchio tardivo much different than ordinary radicchio (comes in a round head, not elongated as in your picture)? Don’t know if radicchio tardivo is readily available.

Peter, also in Berlin it is not quite easy to get Radicchio Tardivo. I think it works also with the round one. Fair to say that the tardivo version has much more flavor. Also it works well as an ingredient for tomatoe sauce. In addition I have seen recipes to roast the whole tardivo in the ofen.

Here is a better photo:

Thanks! I’ll keep an eye out, probably it’s available somewhere around here (I winter in NJ, so lots of stores etc.).
