ROASTED LETTUCE, RADICCHIO, AND ENDIVE



Roasted Lettuce, Radicchio, and Endive image

A Sicilian grandmother taught me to make roasted lettuces this way. I like it for a change from serving cold salad. It is healthy and delicious! Most people like it served with crunchy bread. This also works very well with omelets in the morning or for brunch. Leftovers can be easily re-heated in the microwave.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 heads radicchio
3 heads endive
3 cloves of garlic
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 15.5 ounce can chickpeas or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • Tear radicchio and endive leaves into bite-size pieces and rinse in a strainer. Shake out all of the water.
  • In a large skillet, saute 2 cloves of chopped garlic with about 2 tablespoons of oil. When garlic is beginning to slightly brown, throw in the radicchio and endive. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit more olive oil. Stir radicchio and endive and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid browning too much.
  • Meanwhile in a smaller skillet, add remaining chopped garlic clove with a tablespoon of olive oil. As garlic browns, add chickpeas and the 3/4 cup of walnuts. Season with a little salt and pepper and a drop of olive oil and stir. Cook for 3 minutes, until chickpeas are heated through.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh radicchio and endive: Look for leaves that are crisp and brightly colored, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Wash the radicchio and endive thoroughly: Use cold water to rinse the leaves and remove any dirt or debris.
  • Dry the radicchio and endive thoroughly: Use a salad spinner or pat the leaves dry with paper towels to remove excess water.
  • Slice the radicchio and endive thinly: This will help the leaves absorb the dressing and make them easier to eat.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or lemon-based dressing is a good choice for radicchio and endive salads.
  • Add other ingredients to your salad: Nuts, seeds, cheese, and dried fruit are all good additions to radicchio and endive salads.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Radicchio and endive salads are best served fresh, as the leaves can wilt if they sit for too long.
