FRIED RADICCHIO RECIPE

Radicchio is a typical winter vegetable but there is a type, called tardivo, which is found at the beginning of spring. The peculiarity of late radicchio is its distinctive bitter aftertaste.Winter radicchio, on the other hand, has a more delicate flavor. We thought we'd propose a recipe based on radicchio, ideal as a second course or as a tasty appetizer, which requires a delicious variation in cooking that will make this vegetable appetizing.
