Alicia Silverstone's Radicchio Pizza Recipe

So I made another recipe from Alicia's Silverstone book - The Kind Diet: The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet It was delicious and so easy to make! If you don't really feel like cooking but need to make something quick, easy and healthy. This is definitely the way to go.

I added the black olives and the crumbled feta cheese.

SERVES 2 to 4

INGREDIENTS
1 large head radicchio
Olive oil
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
White truffle oil, to taste
1 fresh pizza crust (preferably a healthy, whole grain variety)
Black Olives (My addition)
Crumbled Feta Cheese (My addition)

PREPARATION
  1. Cut the radicchio in half, then slice each half crosswise into thin ribbons (as thin as possible!).
  2. Dress with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a few dashes of white truffle oil to taste.
  3. Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F.
  4. Toast the pizza crust in the oven for 7 minutes or until it is heated through and slightly golden but not crunchy.
  5. Scatter the dressed radicchio over the pizza crust and return to the oven for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the radicchio is warm and just starting to wilt. Serve immediately.
