You can adjust the numbers of wedges by the size of your radicchio. If your heads are very small you can cut them into 4 wedges each so that they don't fall apart when cooking.
Variations and Ideas
The radicchio can be substituted with romaine lettuce cut into halves or quarters depending on how big your head of lettuce is.
Usage Ideas
