Castelfranco Radicchio ... Help!
I have had Castelfranco Radicchio in my CSA box now two weeks in a row. Last week, we sauteed it it butter and bacon fat and tossed it with pasta and goat cheese. That was a recipe from Babbo on-line.
Truth be told, I hate the stuff. It's bitter beyond belief, but here it is again, rearing its beautiful, but bitter head. What should I do with it. Any ideas?

I've heard that braising it can tame the bitterness and make it yummy, although I've never tried it. More bacon or pancetta never hurts.

True. Bacon and pancetta can solve almost any problem.
Thanks!
