Don’t be nervous about the bitterness of radicchio. The grilling brings out this green’s sweeter side, and the balsamic vinaigrette add the perfect balance.
Serves 4 as a light lunch.
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg (350g) Compliments Organic Portabello mushrooms
- 1 medium head radicchio, sliced into 8 wedges
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil

- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted (or 1 T. capers)
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 Complements French-Style loaf, cut diagonally into 1-inch slices
- butter, softened
- 1/4 cup chevre or soft cheese of your choosing
Directions:
- Brush mushrooms and radicchio lightly in olive oil and grill over medium heat until mushroom are soft and radicchio is wilted. Remove from grill and roughly chop.
