“This is one of those dishes that looks impressive but is actually really easy. Finished with rich, creamy burrata, it’s the perfect winter salad.”

1 radicchio, cut into 8-10 wedges
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
100g salami, sliced into thin rounds
1 cup flat-leaf parsley
1 cup mint leaves
125g burrata

Braised lentils

1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil
2 eschalots, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 bunch thyme
250g puy (French green) lentils
3 cups (750ml) chicken or vegetable stock
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Method

1.

For the braised lentils, heat half the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add eschalot, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until eschalot has softened. Add lentils, stir to combine, then add stock. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes or until lentils are tender and liquid has been almost all absorbed.
2.

Add remaining oil, vinegar and parsley and stir to combine. Season to taste. Set aside.
3.

Preheat a chargrill pan over high heat. Drizzle radicchio with oil and season. Grill, turning halfway, for 4-5 minutes until lightly charred and tender.
4.

Heat a small frypan over high heat, add the salami and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes until crisp.
5.

Toss grilled radicchio and braised lentils together in a serving bowl with the herbs. Top with salami and burrata to serve.
