“I blister the grapes in a very hot pan and squash them at the same time,” says Wells. “The juices release and caramelise and form the base for the dressing. Za’atar is one of my favourite spice mixes – I use it in sweet and savoury dishes.”
Ingredients
Method
Main
1.Cover shallots with cold water in a bowl, soak for 10 minutes, then drain and repeat twice more. Drain well.
2. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over high heat until smoking hot and add the grapes. Take a round heatproof tray, slightly smaller than the diameter of the frying pan, place on top of grapes and press down to squash the grapes, allowing the juice to seep out and caramelise in the pan for about 30 seconds. Remove the tray, turn the grapes over and repeat, then transfer to a bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice and za’atar, season with sea salt flakes, and toss together while still warm. Mix in radicchio, chives and shallot and serve.
Note Banana shallots are available from select greengrocers. If they’re unavailable, substitute large golden shallots. Drink suggestion by Clayton Wells & Abby Meinke
