Radicchio Boats with Blue Cheese and Ginger

Radicchio Boats with Blue Cheese and Ginger

By OcadoLifePublished on 16 October 2024Guests love nostalgic nibbles, so make these retro-style Radicchio Boats with Blue Cheese and Ginger for your next gathering – they take mere minutes to prep. “The blue cheese and preserved ginger combo is a classic from my gran’s dinner party days,” says chef, illustrator and food writer Letitia Ann Clark, who created the recipe. The sweet-salty flavour blend works a treat with bitter leaves like radicchio and chicory. This recipe makes around 10 canapés, but you can easily scale it up for a crowd.

    Separate the leaves from the radicchio or red chicory to make the ‘boats’.

    Scatter over the sliced stem ginger, then drizzle with a little ginger syrup from the jar. Top with mint leaves and a grind of black pepper. Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 2 hrs; remove from the fridge 20 mins before serving.
