SERVES 4 Risotto Radicchio Rosso di Treviso Morlacco
LE BECCHERIE in Treviso may be known best for its tiramisu (the restaurant is said to be the origin of Italy’s most famous dessert), but I fell hard for the risotto with the (possibly more famous) Radicchio Rosso di Treviso. The season for this curly-topped, red-streaked, lightly bitter lettuce had just begun when I was there, and restaurants everywhere were showing it off. This recipe unites three local wonders of Treviso — Prosecco, Morlacco and Radicchio — and is best paired with a glass of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG.
