Radicchio bundles

For these adorable radicchio bundles, you should seek out an Italian-style delicatessen to get authentic prosciutto di Parma and the freshest mozzarella. The highest-quality ingredients always lead to the best flavor results. Blanching the radicchio makes it easier to work with. In order to do so, simply bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Core the radicchio as you would a tomato and cook it in the boiling water for just 10 seconds. Run briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process, then peel leaves from the core end. This way, it'll be far easier to create the bundles to more securely enclose the meat and cheese filling.
