Flavor – How to cook radicchio to make it taste less bitter

flavor

Although I like the basic taste of radicchio a lot, I frequently get heads that are so bitter as to be basically inedible. Can you suggest some cooking techniques that are particularly effective at reducing the bitterness without masking the other flavors too much?

Best Answer

Braising gently in milk will also, I find, help with bitterness. The radicchio becomes wonderfully succulent, very nice with a firm-fleshed fish.
