Steps:
- Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill. When the charcoals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
- Place lemons on grill, cut side down; cook until caramelized, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush radicchio with 1/4 cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper; place cut side down on grill; cook, turning once, until fork tender, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer radicchio to a platter and squeeze lemon juice over it; sprinkle with pine nuts and drizzle with olive oil; serve.

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH SPICY ITALIAN NEONATA
Summer squash, bell peppers, eggplant and greens are the stars of this greenmarket grill party. The spicy vibrant finishing sauce is inspired by Calabrian neonata, a preserved condiment made with hot peppers and baby fish. The condiment is often drizzled onto pasta, pizza or grilled bread. Here, briny anchovies, salami and olives season the sauce with salty, meaty notes to contrast with the spicy pickled cherry peppers and cool, crunchy celery. The fiery, tangy dressing, which can be made a few hours ahead, provides a lively boost for the smoky, tender veggies. Leftover neonata keeps for a week and makes a great sandwich topping the next day.
