Preparation

Kitchen utensils

1 Baking sheet, 1 Measuring cups, 1 Cutting board, 1 Large knife, 1 Small knife, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Parchment paper, 1 Kitchen towel

Preparation steps

1.
Place the chopped rosemary, thyme, sage and garlic in a small bowl. Squeeze 2 tablespoons lemon juice over the herbs and add the lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper; add the olive oil and gently toss.
2.
Arrange the sliced pears in a large bowl or baking sheet, drizzle with marinade, cover and let stand for 2 hours.
3.
When ready to cook, prepare the grill for direct grilling. Preheat to medium-high.
4.
Brush the grill grate lightly with oil. Remove the sliced pears from the marinade (reserve the marinade); place the marinated pears on the hot grill grate. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until golden in color. Transfer from hot grill to serving tray.
5.
Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, dry roast the pine nuts, stirring constantly until they are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the radicchio leaves, olives, parsley and lemon juice and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
6.
Divide radicchio mixture evenly between 4 plates. Top with grilled pears and drizzle with reserved marinade. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
