Cicorie alla Griglia (Grilled Chicory Salad)
Recipe from Eataly
 
Ingredients:
     
1 large head escarole, quartered
2 Tbsp pine nuts
1 oz Parmigiano Reggiano
2 Tbsp cup currants
2 Tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Fine sea salt & freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:
            
Toast the pine nuts in a skillet until fragrant and light brown, about 3 minutes, then set aside.

Prepare an outdoor grill, or heat a grill pan over high heat. In a large bowl, toss the escarole with the olive oil. The greens should be generously coated in oil, so add more if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Place the greens on the preheated grill, cut-side down, and cook, without moving, until charred and slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Turn over, and cook the uncut sides just to soften, about 3 minutes.

Transfer the greens directly from the grill to individual serving plates. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the toasted pine nuts and 1 tablespoon currants over each. Shave the Parmigiano Reggiano over the salad (chef’s tip: use a vegetable peeler for larger, even pieces). Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and serve.
