Lidia's Kitchen

T04:C408 - S04:E408 - Italian Taste for Bitter Vegetables

Italy is one big garden with a year round growing season. Vegetables are often the stars of the meal, and today Lidia will highlight the versatility of delicious bitter vegetables like broccoli rabe, radicchio and escarole. She will be making Baked Radicchio: sweetened by the cook time, this dish caramelizes into a tender hearty bite; Broccoli Rabe and Sausage: a classic combination with sweet Italian sausage and bitter broccoli rabe; Escarole and White Bean Soup: a heart warming escarole and white bean soup.
