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.

SMOKED HAM, ROASTED RADICCHIO, AND CHEESE PANINI



Smoked Ham, Roasted Radicchio, And Cheese Panini image

Provided by Scott Conant

Categories     Sandwich     Cheese     Quick & Easy     Graduation     Father's Day     Lunch     Ham     Radicchio     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 head radicchio, cut through the core into 8 wedges
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 1/2-inch slices ciabatta or other good crusty bread
6 thin slices smoked ham
2 to 3 ounces assertive cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Camembert, crumbled or thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Roast the radicchio:
  • Heat the oven to 350°F. Lay the wedges of radicchio on a small sheet pan and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and cover the pan with aluminum foil. (Covering the pan allows the radicchio to steam and roast at the same time.) Cook until very tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. (The radicchio can be roasted a day ahead.)
  • Grill the panini:
  • Heat a panini or sandwich grill until hot (400°F to 450°F). If you don't have a panini grill, heat a grill pan or ¬cast-¬iron pan over ¬medium--low heat. Pat the radicchio dry, if need be, and cut away any tough core. Make two sandwiches, layering the ham, cheese, and radicchio. (You may not use all of the radicchio.)
  • Brush the outsides of the sandwiches with olive oil and grill in the press for 9 to 10 minutes; you want to crisp and brown the bread and melt the cheese a bit, but the meat need not be excessively hot. If using a pan, weight the sandwiches down with another heavy pan set on top. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, watching them carefully and adjusting the heat as needed. Cut and serve.

Please don't be put off by the ingredients or seemingly lengthy instructions, it is well worth the effort! Please note that the ingredients are key to the total taste of this dish. Try as is before making substitutions, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
