Ingredients: toasty bread,clove of garlic,1-2 glugs of olive oil,2-3 slices of pancetta, prosciutto, bacon, speck – whatever fatty component you want.,Head of radicchio,salt & pepper,optional – few slices of soft cheese – we use sheep’s milk (pecorino),spoonful of sapa – grape must or if unavailable, you can you balsamic vinegar with a tiny bit of honey
Instructions:
- In a pan, heat the olive oil on low heat, add in the clove of garlic. Cook until lightly brown on all sides.Turn up the heat, rough chop your head of radicchio, removing the core and cook down for a couple of minutes until the radicchio wilts.Turn the heat down, chop up your prosciutto or bacon and add to the pan. You want to render the fat of this slowly – if you have the heat too high, the pork will crisp up & become chewy – you dont want this with the soft radicchio.Allow to cook until most of the moisture in the pan has cooked out. The radicchio & pork should still be soft. Season with salt & pepper.
- Remove the clove of garlic and drizzle over the sapa or balsamic & honey mixture. Check your seasonings.Toast the bread, top with a slice of pecorino then a spoonful of the mixture and serve immediately. Goes great with a glass of red wine.
