Grilled Treviso with Citrus Bagna Cauda

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (1 lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest (1/2 orange)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice (1/2 orange)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 large heads Treviso, halved lengthwise
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Instructions

  1. For the citrus bagna cauda: Heat the olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and anchovies. Cook, stirring and breaking up the anchovies with a wooden spoon, until the anchovies dissolve and the garlic is fragrant and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. Meanwhile, add the lemon zest, orange zest, lemon juice, orange juice, honey, salt and pepper to a small bowl. Once the anchovy-garlic oil has cooled, whisk it into the citrus. Allow to mingle for about 10 minutes before removing the garlic.
  3. For the grilled Treviso: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the Treviso halves until slightly wilted and charred in spots, 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board, cut out the cores and chop the leaves into bite-size pieces. Place in a medium bowl and season with the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss the Treviso with the bagna cauda dressing and sprinkle with the walnuts.
