Name: Grilled Radicchio Treviso with Scamorza Cheese
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: Makes 6 to 8 (side dish) servings
Ingredients: 4 (9-inch) heads Treviso radicchio; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 1 cup coarsely grated smoked Scamorza cheese or smoked mozzarella (3 oz); 2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Cooks' notes:

•Gas-grill method: Grill radicchio, covered, over moderately high heat away from direct flame as above 20 to 25 minutes total.

•Grill-pan method: Grill radicchio in batches, without cheese, in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan, covered, over moderate heat. Transfer as grilled, cut sides up, to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 325°F oven. When all batches are grilled, sprinkle cheese over radicchio, then heat in oven until cheese melts.
