Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Radicchio along with all the Radicchio containing recipes presented on this site, with 1 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Radicchio recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Radicchio as a major wild food ingredient.

Radicchio is a leafy red chicory (Cichorium intybus) of the Asteraceae (aster/daisy) family. It has a bitter and peppery taste that mellows significantly when grilled or roasted. In Italy, where the vegetable is quite popular, it is usually eaten grilled in olive oil, or mixed into dishes such as risotto. As with other chicories, if grown correctly in your garden the root can be used to mix with and flavour coffee. It can also be served with pasta, in strudel, as a poultry stuffing, as part of a tapenade or mixed with other salad leaves to lend colour to a salad.
