Shredded Radicchio With Parmigiano Reggiano Recipes

SHREDDED RADICCHIO WITH PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO

Steps:

• Using the fine holes of box grater, grate about 1 cup cheese onto a plate.
• Remove and discard outer leaves of radicchio. Cut heads in half, and remove core. Using a sharp knife, shred radicchio.
• Place shredded radicchio in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, and toss well to combine.
• Divide the radicchio among four salad plates, mounding it up in the center of each plate. Sprinkle reserved Parmigiano-Reggiano over each mound, and serve.

SEARED RADICCHIO WITH BALSAMIC AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Cut each radicchio through the core into 4 even wedges. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Place the radicchio, cut-side down, in the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Sear the radicchio until the bottoms brown and wilt slightly, about 3 minutes. Turn the wedges over and sear the other sides, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the radicchio to a plate. Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan and boil until syrupy and reduced by about half, about 1 minute. Return the radicchio to the pan and toss to glaze with the balsamic syrup. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the radicchio among 4 plates. Using a vegetable peeler, shave large pieces of cheese over the top. Serve warm.

RISOTTO CON PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO

Steps:

• Bring broth to boil in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low; cover saucepan.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion; sauté until very tender but not brown, about 15 minutes. Increase heat to medium. Add rice and stir 1 minute. Add 1 1/2 cups warm broth. Boil gently until broth is absorbed, stirring frequently. Add another 1 cup broth; stir until broth is absorbed. Add remaining 2 1/2 cups broth, 1/2 cup at a time, allowing broth to be absorbed before adding more and stirring frequently until rice is tender and mixture is creamy, about 25 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter and 1 cup grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and shaved Parmesan.

RISOTTO WITH RADICCHIO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot.
• Put the broth on to heat in a separate pot.
• Saute the onion in the oil until it takes on a little color.
• Meanwhile wash the radicchio and cut off core.
• Add the rice to the onion and stir until it is well coated.
• Add the wine to rice and onion and stir; let the wine cook away, about 2 minutes, stirring.
• Shred the radicchio with a knife.
• Add about a cup of simmering chicken broth to rice and cook over high heat, stirring very often until broth has evaporated. Repeat the procedure, this time adding the shredded radicchio. Continue adding broth and stirring, cooking until broth evaporates. You may not need all the broth to cook the rice.
• Meanwhile finely grate the cheese.
• When rice is tender and there is still enough broth left in the rice to make it slightly runny, add the cheese, stirring well, season with pepper and serve.

PARMIGIANO REGGIANO

Steps:

• Parmigiano Reggiano is from Italy it's been made for over 1,000 years . It's produced traditionally in copper vats and the aging process takes a minimum of 12 months although I like it aged for 24 months. Look for the pin dot marking on the rind so you know you have authentic Parmigiano Reggiano.
