Radicchio di Treviso Marinato

Serves 3-4

6 heads Treviso radicchio

1 c white wine vinegar

3 c water

5 black peppercorns

1/2 tsp salt

1 bay leaf

1/2 c extra-virgin olive oil

salt and freshly ground pepper

3 hard-boiled eggs

Remove and discard any imperfect outer leaves from radicchio heads. Quarter heads lengthwise and set aside. Combine vinegar, water, peppercorns, 1/2 tsp salt, and bay leaf in a large pot and bring to a boil. Blanch radicchio wedges in the vinegar mixture, a few at a time, for 1–2 minutes. Blot dry with a towel, squeezing gently to remove as much moisture as possible.

Arrange wedges in layers in a glass or ceramic dish and cover with oil. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Bring radicchio to room temperature, season with salt and freshly ground pepper, and garnish sliced or unsliced heads with finely grated hard-boiled egg.

This dish will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
