Would you like a new Jamie Oliver recipe from his new barbecue cookbook? I tried out the perfect salad for grilling for you. We love grilling – with just a few ingredients, the right heat and a little creativity, dishes full of roasted aromas, freshness and taste can be created. Whether charcoal grill, gas grill, air fryer or grill pan – Jamie Oliver does it with his new cookbook. Want to use the grill all year round, which we like to do. The salad for grilling is a great, unusual combination with grilled salads, refreshing orange and creamy burrata. It immediately convinced me and motivated me to test more recipes from this exciting book. Be sure to try the recipe!
Grilling knowledge for beginners and professionals
The special thing about the new barbecue cookbook, published by DK-Verlag*, is the successful mix of practical basics and varied recipes. Jamie Oliver explains clearly how to create the perfect grill set-up, recommends cooking levels for meat and fish and how to stack the coal. A simple message runs through the entire book: Grilling doesn’t have to be complicated. Good ingredients, a little courage and the right heat are often enough to bring impressive dishes to the table.
Lots of inspiration for the barbecue party
The cookbook offers numerous ideas for every occasion and proves that grilling is much more versatile than classic grilled dishes. The chapters range from “Fast & original”, to recipes for all kinds of skewers with the motto “Beautifully skewered” and “Salads with sophistication & lots of vegetables”, as well as “Brunch with crunch” and ideas for many guests. This variety is completed with “Burgers & Pattys” and “Smart Extras for even more flavor”. The chapter about vegetables and creative salads in particular shows how excitingly delicious vegetarian grill cuisine can be.
Why this salad is great for grilling
If you are looking for a special salad to grill, you should definitely try this recipe. The slightly bitter radicchio develops wonderful roasted aromas on the grill that harmonize perfectly with the sweetness of grilled oranges, creamy burrata and roasted pine nuts. This Jamie Oliver recipe is simply something new. The slightly caramelized radicchio loses some of its bitterness and acquires a wonderfully smoky aroma. I like warm salad, even if you have to be quick when grilling it to keep it a little crunchy. The fruity citrus notes, whether orange or clementine, bring freshness into play, while the burrata (or should we say the burrata) provides a creamy component. Roasted pine nuts provide the right crunch. This salad is enough for me, but of course we also had a meat and fish side dish with it!
Jamie Oliver Recipe: Grilled Radicchio with Oranges & Burrata
Ingredients
2 tbsp liquid honey
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 clementines or small oranges
2 heads radicchio
2 crisp leaf salads
50 g pine nuts
1 bunch of thyme or rosemary (20 g)
1 ball of burrata (150 g)
preparation
- Preheat the grill, you can also use an air fryer or a pan.
- In a large serving bowl, mix 1 tablespoon each of honey and red wine vinegar with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to make a dressing.
- Peel a clementine or orange and cut it into thin, round slices, and halve the other fruit.
- Clean the radicchio and cut into fine strips, separating the leaves. Clean the lettuce and remove the leaves.
- Grill the clementine or orange halves, cut side down, until golden brown, then squeeze the juice into the dressing with grill tongs.
- Roast the pine nuts in a small cast iron pan on the grill for a few minutes, stirring regularly. Once they are golden brown, remove them.
- Grill or fry the radicchio and lettuce leaves until golden brown and carefully turn them with the grill tongs. When they are ready, add them directly to the dressing.
- Spray the bouquet of herbs with olive oil, place on the grill for 30 seconds and turn after 15 seconds so that it does not catch fire. As soon as it has cooled down a little, pull the leaves into the salad and mix everything carefully.
- Arrange the clementine or orange slices on the salad, sprinkle with the pine nuts, tear the burrata into pieces and add. Drizzle everything with the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey.
Bon appetite!
