INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a metal mixing bowl, stir onion, vinegar, water, sugar and salt  and
let stand 1 hour. Wrap each radicchio quarter in two pieces of
pancetta and set aside. Heat a 10- to 12-inch nonstick saute pan 1
minute over medium heat. Place 8 pieces wrapped radicchio and cook 6
to 8 minutes, until pancetta is browned, turning frequently. Remove  to
plate in warm oven. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drain grease
from the pan. Repeat process with remaining radicchio. Pour grease  out
and add balsamic vinegar and butter. Bring to a boil and reduce  by
half. Drain onions and place in small piles in center of 4  separate
plates. Stack warm radicchio pieces up against onions like a  teepee
and spoon 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic sauce around and  serve. This
recipe yields 4 servings.  Recipe Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali
