--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      cup           cooked cannellini beans
   6      tablespoons   extra-virgin olive oil
   6      tablespoons   balsamic vinegar
     1/2  teaspoon      crushed red pepper flakes
   2      tablespoons   basil leaves -- cut chiffonade
   1                    garlic clove -- thinly sliced
                        salt -- to taste
                        freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
   4      slices        Italian bread -- 1" thick, grilled
   2      large         radicchio heads

Preparation:

Preheat grill or broiler. In a mixing bowl, gently stir together beans with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, basil and garlic, careful not to break them. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the radicchio in half from top to bottom and place dry onto grill or broiler and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill and cut each half in half again to form wedges. Cut the core piece out and loosen each leaf from the head. Dress the removed leaves in a mixing bowl with remaining oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Arrange radicchio on four plates like fingers to form a hand. Divide the bean mixture over four freshly-grilled bread slices, placing them in the middle of each salad mixture. Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # MB-5644)
