Rinse the radicchio with the open side down under running water, dry it, and squeeze it to remove any remaining water. Cut the radicchio in half lengthwise, leaving the stems together. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a saucepan large enough to hold both halves, heat gently, and place the radicchio halves cut-side down. Cover. Mix the remaining oil and balsamic vinegar together, basting the radicchio every 1-2 minutes to ensure there’s always some liquid but the radicchio is browning slightly. Turn over after a few minutes and continue cooking. If the liquid evaporates, add a little vegetable stock. The radicchio is ready when it’s softened.
