Baked Stuffed Radicchio

Ingredients

2 heads radicchio
8 ounces goat cheese
1/2 cup pistachio nuts, lightly toasted and chopped
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons chopped chervil
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve radicchio heads down the middle. Cut out hard core and remove several layers of inner leaves to hollow out a small hole for stuffing. Chop up radicchio leaves and combine with goat cheese, pistachios, shallots, chervil and olive oil; season to taste with salt and black pepper. Fill radicchio halves with stuffing. Bake until hot and golden, about 30 minutes.
