Bustine di Radicchio

By LeeBoruchow

Little radicchio "letters" wrapped in smoked prosciutto.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb radicchio, separated into leaves
• 1/2 lb thinly sliced speck
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Steam leaves for 5 minutes. Divide the leaves into 8 equal bundles and fold each bundle in half lengthwise. Wrap each bundle with a slice of speck and secure with a toothpick.

In a 12" saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and add the packets to the pan and add the caraway seeds. After 1 minute, turn the bundles and add the vinegar. Cook for another 2 minutes, until the meat is somewhat transparent. Serve with the pan juices drizzled over.
