This elegant vegetarian dish of balsamic-marinated radicchio with fresh ricotta offers a sophisticated balance of flavours and textures. The naturally bitter notes of the radicchio are softened through gentle grilling, then transformed by a bright, punchy marinade of balsamic vinegar, garlic, and lemon. As the leaves sit, they absorb the rich dressing, creating a savoury depth that contrasts beautifully with the cooling, peppery fragrance of fresh basil leaves.
Perfect as a light starter or a refined side dish, this recipe celebrates the simplicity of high-quality ingredients. Serving the charred leaves alongside creamy, shop-bought or homemade ricotta provides a mellow finish that cuts through the acidity of the vinegar. It is a wonderful addition to a shared Mediterranean feast or a healthy weekend lunch, best enjoyed with a glass of crisp Italian white wine.
