I tried radicchio for the first time tonight. Now, I'm not a very picky eater and I am open to the idea that it is the cook and not the vegetable, but I don't think I care for it. I still have half a head left so I can try a different recipe and see if it is better.I watch the Food Network and I'm always seeing the cooks on there saying wonderful thing about the bitterness and how it is a wonderful contrast and so on. My dad used to tell me about how people used to use dandelion leaves in salad and that radicchio tasted just like mature dandelion leaves. Wow. Anyone have any good recipes?
