Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, reduce the balsamic over a medium heat until reduced by two thirds. Allow to cool. (You could do a larger quantity, as reduced balsamic is always nice to have on hand.)
  • Remove the outer leaves of the radicchio until you get to the deep red centre of the head.
  • Break up the red heart and tear it into uniform bite size pieces. Remove the white spines by cutting a V in each leaf.
  • Toss the walnuts with the honey, place them in a non stick pan, and cook over a high heat, tossing all the time or they will burn.
  • Once golden, remove them from the pan and spread out on baking paper and allow to cool.
  • In a small bowl, mix the mustard with a good splash of olive oil, season with a little salt and pepper, and whisk until combined.
  • Place the lettuce, watercress and grape halves in a large mixing bowl and toss with a few tablespoons of the dressing.
  • Arrange evenly on 4 plates and garnish with crumbled cheese, walnuts and a drizzle of the reduced balsamic.
