CARAMELISED TREVISO RADICCHIO WITH CHOPPED DATES

This recipe uses Treviso Radicchio sourced from the La Sovrana family in the South of Italy. It’s here that the climate, soil and local growing artistry produce crops so complex that they are geographically protected. Through collaborating with growers during the hunger gap, we're sourcing food that is in seasonal abundance, rich with flavour, fully traceable and built on a collaborative spirit that strengthens our food systems.

Here, the sweetness of the dates pairs perfectly with the radicchio, which has a slightly bitter/spicy taste.
