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.
