Grilled Radicchio

Directions

1. 1
   Start a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be only moderately hot and the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
2. 2
   Cut the radicchio in half and drizzle the cut sides with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. 3
   If you like, rub with the garlic.
4. 4
   Grill, cut side down, until nicely browned, about 2 minutes, then turn and brown the other side.
5. 5
   Continue to cook, turning occasionally, for a total of 5 to 10 minutes, or until the exterior is browned and crisp (the interior will barely cook; thats fine).
6. 6
   Serve hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges and drizzled with a little more olive oil.
