With the weather turning chilly, I like to roast radicchio. Just cut in
half, drizzle with olive oil, rosemary, and salt, and roast on medium-high
heat (say 375°F) until it's tender. Then I drizzle it with balsamic vinegar.
Braising is also a good way to treat it. Here's the menu from an autumn
meal with radicchio I made for a special occasion this time last year:

Fennel Salad with Oranges and Olives
Lentil Soup with Carrots, Garlic, Spinach, and Tomatoes
Braised Radicchio with Raisins and Pine Nuts
Chestnut Polenta with Pork Ragout
Puff Pastry "Calzone" with Chocolate-Cherry-Ricotta filling and an orange
sauce on the side
