Grilled Radicchio

Cut each pear into quarters lengthways and remove the cores. Place the pears in a single layer on a large double-thickness sheet of

kitchen foil, turning up the edges slightly. Mix the orange juice, rind and honey in a bowl. Pour over the pears. Bring up the edges of the kitchen

foil and press together to seal. Place the parcel in a heavy-based frying pan and cook over a moderate heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pears are tender.

Start to cook the radicchio about 6 minutes before the pears are ready. Brush the radicchio quarters with the walnut oil and cook under a

preheated grill for 2-3 minutes on each side.

divide the pears and their cooking juices between 4 plates. Add 4 radicchio quarters to each portion, then sprinkle with the crumbled

Gorgonzola and a little pepper. Serve immediately.
