Ingredients

1 radicchio lettuce
125g goat’s cheese
4 large apricots, quartered
handful of rocket
handful of pea shoots
25g butter
2 tsps balsamic vinegar
1 tsp honey
1 tsp olive oil

Introduction

This simple salad makes for an easy dinner party starter. The bitter edge of radicchio is tempered with a mixture of salt and sweet - goat’s cheese and caramelised apricots.

Method

Cut the radicchio into quarters.
Brush with 1 tsp olive oil and scatter with salt.
Grill under high heat for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat up 25g butter in a saucepan and toss in the apricot pieces.
After about 5 minutes, mix the balsamic vinegar and honey well in a separate bowl, and add to the pan.
Saute for a further 10 minutes until the apricots are slightly caramelised.
Serve the warm radicchio quarters with crumbled goat's cheese and the warm apricots on a bed of rocket and pea shoots.
Drizzle with the jus from the pan.
