Published on 08 June 2022
In this Braised Radicchio with Sausages (we recommend Cumberland) and Cannellini Beans dish by food writer Esther Clark, the slightly bitter radicchio is made sweet, soft and succulent as it bubbles away in the
oven, soaking up the flavour from the sausages, wine and onions. Serve with
lots of fresh crusty bread to mop up the juices. Looking for more savoury traybake recipes? We’ve got you covered.Time and servings
