"I love how simple this recipe—and risotto in general—is. There are almost no vegetables that can't be used for a basic recipe. For this variant with radicchio, I sometimes fry an additional clove of diced garlic or some fennel or celery, also finely chopped, along with the onions. I always use whatever wine I have open, which might also be a white wine or rosé. If radicchio is too bitter for you, drizzle some extra lemon or try a little bit of honey at the end—but much of its stronger notes are calmed during cooking."

Halve the radicchio, remove the core, and slice into fine strips. Finely dice the onion. Heat butter and some olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sauté onions for approx. 5 min., then add the radicchio strips, salt and sauté for another 5 min.
