Grilled Hearts Of Palm Radicchio And Asparagus Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Chop the tough, woody ends off the asparagus (about 1 inch) and peel another inch of the stalks.
• Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the asparagus and toss until well coated.
• Put the asparagus on the grill at an angle so the stalks don't fall through the grates. Grill, flipping halfway through cooking, until the asparagus begin to char, the pointy ends start to crisp and the stalks are just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the feta and mint.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place radicchio in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt; toss to coat.
• Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, mustard, and vinegar in a separate bowl. Set aside.
• Grill radicchio on the preheated grill for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle reserved dressing over the top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat a gas grill on high or prepare a hot charcoal grill fire.
• In a large bowl, toss the hearts of palm, radicchio, and asparagus with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, and several grinds pepper. Grill, flipping as needed, until nicely marked all over and tender, 4 to 5 minutes total. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, zest, sugar, salt, and pepper.
• Core the radicchio. Cut the radicchio, asparagus, and hearts of palm into pieces about 3 inches long by ½ inch wide. Return to the large bowl and toss with the prosciutto, Parmigiano, and 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Serve drizzled with the remaining vinaigrette, if desired.

Steps:

• Cut the radicchio in quarters lengthwise, being sure to keep some of the stem attached to each quarter. Trim off any dark bits of stem. Submerge the radicchio quarters in ice water for 1 hour to remove some bitterness. Put a plate on top of the radicchio to keep them under water.
• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except the mozzarella. Mix well.
• Prepare a hot fire in your grill, or heat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Drain the radicchio and place them on paper towels to absorb remaining water. Open up the leaves and spoon the olive oil mixture inside. Place the radicchio quarters on a baking sheet and pour the remaining marinade mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Grill the radicchio until browned on the outside but still raw in the center, 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Be careful, as the oil mixture may flame up.
• When the radicchio begins to brown, pull from the grill, open up a section of each portion and place a slice of mozzarella inside. Place quarters back onto the sheet pan and place the pan directly on the grill for 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Drizzle any leftover dressing over the top of the grilled radicchio and serve warm.
• If making radicchio in advance: Before the party, have the radicchio drained and marinated in the vinaigrette in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Place the garlic, olive oil, rosemary, sage, thyme, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
• Add the radicchio and gently toss so that it is well coated.
• Cover and let marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat grill.
• Place the radicchio on hot grill and baste the marinade on top.
• Grill turning with tongs till edges of the radicchio are crisp and almost beginning to look burnt, about 15 minutes.
• Serve immediately, with grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush each romaine lettuce half with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
• Cook romaine hearts, cut-side down, on the preheated grill until the cut-side is slightly caramelized but the inside is still cool and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer lettuce, cut-side up, to a platter. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over lettuce and drizzle balsamic vinegar, sherry vinegar, and 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over high heat, bring 1 inch of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Pat dry and transfer to a large salad bowl.
• Add the hearts of palm, cherry tomatoes, and onions to the salad bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, pepper, and sugar. Gradually whisk in the oil, then pour over the salad and toss to coat the vegetables. Add the diced avocado, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently. Sprinkle the salad with toasted pine nuts and serve immediately.
