Ok. I know this roasted yams and radicchio combo sounds a bit bizarro, but I made it the other day and was completely blown away by how the bitter of the radicchio and the sweet of the yams melded so well together. Add in some mustard balsamic vinaigrette and I was in heaven.

Radicchio is one of the most nutrient dense lettuces, which is why I try to use it when I can – even though it tastes terribly bitter. Newsflash: that bitter taste is calcium! Grilling or roasting radicchio mellows out the bitter flavor and gives it an almost nutty fragrance.If you like radicchio, then this a perfect falldishfor you.

Radicchio (red-leaf Italian chicory) is available in many varieties. The most widely distributed in this country are the round head variety (di Castelfranco or di Chioggia), traditionally used in salads, and the long, flat, finger-shaped radicchio di Treviso, which is excellent grilled.

Serves 4 to 6 | Prep 15 minutes | Cook time 45 minutes

Ingredients

4 Yams with yellow and/or purple colored flesh,cut into 1-inch cubes
1 head of radicchio
4 green onions chopped

Preheat oven to 180°C. Cut the radicchio into quarters lengthways, then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, tossing it to coat well, then sprinkle sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste on both sides. Place on a baking tray then roast in the oven for about 10 minutes (turning it once halfway through) until leaves are wilted. Avoid charring. Slice each quarter across the width into half inch-thick strips.

Step 4

Lay the yamsout in a single layer on a roasting tray. Drizzle the oil and salt and pepper over the potatoes. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes in oven or until tender.
