4 small radicchio, stemmed and quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup red wine
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 fresh rosemary sprigs
prep: 10 minutes
total: 50 minutes
skillet
baking dish or pie pan
1. In a skillet, brown the radicchio on all sides in half the oil. Remove to a baking dish or pie pan that is just big enough to hold the radicchio in a single layer.
2. Add the onion and garlic to the fat remaining in the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the onion is softened, but not brown. Add the wine and the vinegar and bring to a boil. Pour over the radicchio, season with salt and pepper and place the rosemary over the top.
3. Bake at 375F for 40 minutes, until radicchio is tender.
