• 6 1⁄2 cups vegetable stock

1. Bring the stock to a boil. Meanwhile, melt half the butter in another pan, add the onion and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the radicchio, then stir in the rice and cook, stirring, until the grains are coated in butter.

This risotto is so simple and delicious! I never thought that radicchio can be used in a risotto. Add a glas of fine white wine and you got yourself a perfect week-day dinner.
