Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place radicchio, Belgian endive, chicory, and romaine lettuce halves in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil on top. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Combine olives and capers in a small bowl; set aside. Mix together oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and chile pepper in a small bowl until well combined; set aside. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Stuff inner leaves with olives, capers, and spice mixture using your fingers. Wrap halves together with kitchen string to prevent stuffing from falling out. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil on top. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until lettuce is crispy and beginning to wilt, 10 to 15 minutes. Cut off the kitchen string and sprinkle Romano cheese on top before serving. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using Kalamata olives.
A sprinkle of lemon zest adds a bright note.
Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious pan juices.
Leftovers are great in omelets or frittatas.
If you don't have kitchen string, you can use toothpicks to secure the lettuce halves.
