Cookbook:Grilled Radicchio with Bacon Dressing
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
If you're concerned about bacon fat, get this: Bacon fat is essentially lard, and did you know lard has less saturated fat than butter, as many monounsaturated fats as olive oil, and doesn't contain trans fat.
[edit] Ingredients
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 tbs rendered bacon fat
- 2 tbs red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 large radicchio, quartered
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
[edit] Directions
- Toss radicchio with 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Place on a medium grill and cook until marked on all sides and heated through.
- Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar and mustard. In another bowl, combine oil and fat. Slowly stream in oil mixture into vinegar mixture while whisking continously.
- Drizzle dressing over radicchio and sprinkle with bacon. Serve warm.
