With its pleasantly bitterish taste, red radicchio of Chioggia is perfect for a light side dish, simply braised or stewed in a pot. But it can also be enriched with other ingredients such as walnuts, speck, pine nuts and bacon, to create a variety of side dishes to accompany meat and fish. Red radicchio of Chioggia is also excellent in risottos and savoury pies.
As with all red-purple fruits and vegetables, red radicchio of Chioggia has plenty of antioxidants (even more than blueberries).
