Ingredients

6 eggs, at room temperature

1 head (about 180gm) treviso, cut into 6 wedges

10 pale inner celery stalks, thinly sliced

4 long green chillies, very thinly sliced

1 small white onion, thinly sliced

2 lemons, peeled, segmented

1 tsp caster sugar

1 cup each (loosely packed) flat-leaf parsley and coriander

65 gm salted capers, rinsed (1/3 cup)

60 ml extra-virgin olive oil (¼ cup)

80 gm aged parmesan, shaved

Method

Main

1.Heat a barbecue to medium-high heat. Cook eggs in a saucepan of simmering water until cooked to your liking (6 minutes for soft-boiled). Drain, refresh in cold water (1 minute), then peel.

2.Barbecue treviso wedges, turning occasionally, until lightly grilled (1-2 minutes each side).

3.Combine celery, chilli, onion, lemon segments, sugar, salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Add herbs, celery leaves, capers, olive oil and treviso, and mix well. Arrange salad on a platter, tear eggs in half, add egg, scatter with parmesan, season to taste and serve.

Note Treviso is available from select Italian greengrocers such as Norton St Grocer; substitute regular radicchio. Osteria Oggi uses 18-month-old parmesan.
