Ingredients

1/2 head radicchio, very thinly sliced (about 2 cups)

1 1/2 cups shelled fresh peas (from about 1 1/2 pounds peas in pods) or thawed frozen peas

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Place radicchio in a serving bowl.

In a small saucepan, bring peas, water, vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, and pepper to a simmer over medium heat. Cover, and cook until peas are just tender, about 6 minutes for fresh peas and 2 minutes for frozen. Pour hot pea mixture over radicchio, and toss. Serve immediately.
