Grilled Radicchio with Olive Oil and Sea Salt

A vibrant reddish purple member of the chicory family, radicchio has a fresh, bitter flavor that mellows deliciously when it is grilled until tender. A wedge makes a great side dish for grilled meat—try it with veal chops—or it can be sliced and used as a pizza or bruschetta topping or as a sandwich filling.
