Roasted Radiccho with Garlic Anchovy Dressing
Roasted Radicchio with Garlic Anchovy Dressing
Roasted Radicchio is the summer side you didn’t know you needed. The bitter quality of the radicchio mellows out in the oven and is balanced by this wonderful dressing. The lemon zest, garlic, and anchovy paste all work together to create a truly tasty result.
Roasted Radicchio caramelized in the oven, and is a great addition to pasta salads, or even to top a burger. Often overlooked at the farmers market, it is a true power player all year long. The garlic anchovy dressing would be great over a whole salad or pasta salad. Add a little bit of mayo to the mix if you would like a creamy effect.
If you have a vegetable basket you can even opt to grill the radicchio over the open flame. Brush the radicchio slices with the Garlic Anchovy dressing as they cook, saving a bit to drizzle on when you plate them!
Roasted Radiccho with Garlic Anchovy Dressing
ingredients
1 head of radicchio, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp anchovy paste
1 tsp hot sauce ( I used chipotle hot sauce and it was great!)
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp pepper
lemon zest, optiona
instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
Remove the outer layer of the radicchio. Slice the head of radicchio in half. Cut a V to remove the stem. Then cut into 1/4 inch slices.
Lay slices flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, anchovy paste, hot sauce, garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt and pepper until well combined.
Brush the slices of radicchio with the mixture until each slice is well coated.
Place in the oven for about 18 minutes, until the radicchio slices appear to start browning.
Remove from oven and drizzle remaining dressing over top. Zest half of a lemon over top, if desired. Serve on a platter, or break them up into salad. They are also great to top burgers with!
