Cooking lettuce, whether sautéed or grilled, yields a totally different flavor from the raw. In this recipe, the bitterness of radicchio is tamed by the sweetness of onions and a touch of sugar. A wonderful Italian side dish, this dish is eye-catching with its ruby tones. Serve with a seared flaky white fish such as grouper or tilapia and some asparagus for a spring-inspired dinner. You may also try this with roasted chicken and some mashed cauliflower. Ready in only 20 minutes, this side is good on busy weeknights or for meals when time is not an issue.
