Ingredients

Seared Turkey Steak

Olive Oil

Directions

  1. 1. Pan sear Turkey breast steaks

Ingredients

Braised radicchio

2

heads of radicchio (about 12 oz or 340 g total), trimmed and quartered

2 tbsp.

olive oil

1

small onion, finely chopped

2 clove(s)

garlic, minced

1/2 cup(s)

dry white wine or vegetable broth

1/4 cup(s)

balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp.

honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup(s)

chopped fresh parsley or thyme (optional, for garnish)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1. Prepare the Radicchio: Trim the radicchio heads and cut them into quarters. If the outer leaves are very large, you can cut them into smaller pieces.
  2. 2. Sear the Radicchio: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the radicchio quarters cut-side down and sear for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are nicely browned. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the radicchio from the pan and set aside.
  3. 3. Saute the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. 4. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the white wine or vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. 5. Add the Braising Liquid: Stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey (or maple syrup). Return the seared radicchio to the pan, cut-side up. Spoon some of the liquid over the radicchio.
  6. 6. Braise the Radicchio: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it braise for about 20-25 minutes, or until the radicchio is tender and the flavors have melded. Check occasionally and add a little more broth if the pan gets too dry.

Ingredients

Pistachio Gremolata:

1/2 cup(s)

shelled pistachios (unsalted)

1 cup(s)

fresh parsley leaves, chopped

1

lemon, zested

2 clove(s)

garlic, minced

2 tbsp.

extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1. Toast the Pistachios: Heat a small, dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pistachios and toast them, stirring frequently, for about 2-3 minutes until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to bum them. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. 2. Chop the Pistachios: Once cooled, chop the pistachios finely or pulse them a few times in a food processor. You want a coarse texture, not a fine powder.
  3. 3. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and miqced garlic.
  4. 4. Add Olive Oil: Drizzle in the olive oil and mix well to combine all the ingredients.
