Method

Discard loose or wilted leaves.  Cut the radicchio to be even at the base.  Do not cut too deeply or the head will fall apart.  What you want is evenness, not loss of life or limb!  Cut radicchio in quarters.

Brush all sides of the quartered radicchio lightly with olive oil.  Season with salt and freshly milled pepper to taste.

Prepare grill.  Put radicchio on rack, then cover and grill for 7 - 10 minutes each side, or until radicchio is lightly browned on the outside.  Do not over cook.

When almost cooked, sprinkle grated cheese over one side.  Cover and continue to cook just to melt the cheese. 

Remove to a serving platter. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the radicchio.

Serves: 6 - 8
