Fried red radicchio is a tasty and crunchy side dish typical of Italian cuisine. The radicchio is dipped in a light batter made of flour, egg, and beer, then fried in olive oil until crispy. It is a simple dish to prepare but rich in flavor. This side dish is ideal for accompanying meats and cheeses.
Make the batter: in a bowl, place the flour in a mound, put an egg yolk, a tablespoon of oil, and a pinch of salt in the center
With a wooden spoon, mix very well to avoid lumps, then dilute with the beer
Cover and let rest for at least half an hour, then fold in the stiffly beaten egg white
Wash and dry the radicchio, removing the larger leaves one by one and cutting the central core into thin wedges
Dip each leaf in the batter and fry it in plenty of oil, turning it to brown and golden
Drain and dry on kitchen paper
Salt and serve immediately
