As autumn sets in, the transition from tender greens to sturdier leaves like chicories enhances dishes with their slightly bitter flavor, pairing beautifully with sweet ingredients.
Chicories, once a staple in Italian cuisine, have become more accessible in U.S. grocery stores, with varieties like radicchio and Belgian endive gaining popularity.
Incorporating ingredients like sweet pears and candied walnuts into salads balances the bitterness of chicories, while a dressing of sherry or balsamic vinegar completes the dish.
Baking a cheesy polenta torta in advance allows for easy slicing and reduces last-minute stress, making it an ideal dish to serve alongside roasted mushrooms.
