BBQ Sweet Onions and Raddichio with Spicy Balsamic Dressing
Recipe By Michael Weldon
Ingredients
2 brown onions, cut into thick rings
extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs Coles brown sugar
2 radicchio, cut into quarters
extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
Spicy Balsamic Butter
½ cup aged balsamic vinegar
2 tbs Coles brown sugar
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
2 tbs currants
2 tbs toasted pine nuts
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Garnish
extra toasted pine nuts
Cooked using The Ziggy available at Barbeques Galore
Method
Heat a bbq over a medum heat and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle brown sugar over the onions then place them on to the bbq. Cooking this on a low heat will allow the onion to caramelize and turn sweet. Once cooked remove from the bbq and place to one side.
Brush the bbq with oil and place the cut sides of the radicchio on medium to high heat and cook until charred.
In a pre-heated pot, add the balsamic vinegar, sugar, chilli, currants, pine nuts and extra virgin olive oil to a saucepan. Warm over the bbq until the sauce simmers. Simmer for 5 minutes until the dressing had thickened and the sugar has dissolved. Take from the heat and add the olive oil, taste for seasoning and adjust to your liking.
To serve, lay the radicchio on a serving platter. Top with onions and then the dressing. Finish with extra pine nuts.
